Morphology

rejuvenative = rejuvenate (semi-transparent) = re + juven + ate + ive

For a learner who knows 'rejuvenate', adding '-ive' straightforwardly yields the meaning 'having a rejuvenating effect'.

Etymology

Rejuvenative comes from re- 'again' and juven- from juvenis 'young', so it literally means 'to make young again'. That's why something described as rejuvenative makes you feel fresher, more lively, or younger.
