Morphology

rejuvenation = rejuvenate (semi-transparent) = re + juven + ation

For learners who know the verb 'rejuvenate', adding '-ion' straightforwardly forms the noun naming the process or result.

Etymology

Rejuvenation comes from the parts re- 'again' and juvenis 'young', and it shares the same root as familiar words like juvenile and junior. So, rejuvenation is the idea of becoming 'young again' or feeling fresher and more lively.
