Morphological relation to 'regenerate' + '-ion' is regular; the noun denotes a process derived from the verb.
Etymology
Regeneration comes from re- 'again' and generare 'to make'. A helpful way to remember the technical use is to think of sending part of a signal back to 'make it stronger again', which is what regeneration does in electronics.
