Morphology
regression = regress (semi-transparent) = re + gress + ion
Formally derived from 'regress' + '-ion', but the statistical meaning is a technical extension not obvious from the verb alone.
Etymology
Regression comes from Latin parts re- 'back' and gress 'step', the same root as progress. In statistics the name shows the idea of 'moving back' toward an average, so a regression method helps predict one value from another by estimating how values 'return' toward the middle.
