Morphology

rejuvenescence = juvenescence (semi-transparent) = re + juven + escence

The prefix re- is clear, but the classical base juvenescence and the suffix -escence are uncommon, so the meaning is only partly predictable.

Etymology

The word rejuvenescence comes from the parts re- meaning 'again', juven- meaning 'young' (the same root as juvenile and rejuvenate) and the ending -escence meaning 'the process of becoming', like in adolescence. So, rejuvenescence means 'becoming young again' or a return of youth and energy.
