Morphology

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

Adding '-ive' to 'regenerate' straightforwardly forms an adjective meaning 'having the function or quality of regenerating'.

Etymology

Regenerative comes from re- 'again' and generate 'to make', a root you know from generate and regenerate. So regenerative farming or land care works to 'make' soil and nature healthy 'again'.
