Morphology

regenesis = genesis (transparent) = re + genesis

The meaning is directly recoverable as a new or renewed genesis, creation, or coming-into-being.

Etymology

The word regenesis is made from re- which means 'again' and genesis which means 'birth' or 'beginning', the same root you see in generate. So it means a new 'birth' or fresh start, which is why we use it for something that is created or renewed again.
