Not really, what do you mean by that?

Root Explanation

Juvenescence is formed from "juvenis" (meaning young) and "-escence" (meaning the process of becoming). The word describes the process of becoming young or youthful.

Memory Tip

Think of 'juvenis' meaning young, and '-escence' indicating a process — so juvenescence refers to the process of becoming young.
