Morphology
palingenesia = palingenesis (semi-transparent) = palin + genesis + ia
Forming 'palingenesia' from 'palingenesis' by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ia' is a straightforward morphological variant.
Etymology
The word palingenesia comes from the Greek parts palin 'again' and genesis 'birth', the same root in the familiar word genesis, so it means 'rebirth' or a deep spiritual or social renewal.
