Morphology

regenerate = generate (semi-transparent) = re + generate

The word is built transparently from 're-' + 'generate', but the adjective sense 'spiritually or morally renewed' is somewhat specialized and not fully predictable from the base meaning alone.

Etymology

Regenerate, as an adjective, keeps the roots re- 'again' and generate 'to create', and it means 'renewed in spirit' after a strong change. That's why a regenerate person is someone who has been morally or spiritually renewed.
