Morphology
Renascence = renaissance (semi-transparent) = re + nascence
The relation to 'renaissance' (a readily known word) is clear, but 'renascence' is an uncommon/archaic variant and the spelling/rarity may obscure recognition for learners.
Etymology
Renascence comes from Latin parts re- meaning 'again' and nasci meaning 'to be born', so it means 'born again' or 'rebirth'. That's why Renascence names a time when art, learning, and culture were renewed, the same idea as the better-known word renaissance.
