Root Explanation

Regenerate → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "generare" (meaning to produce or create). The word "regenerate" means to produce or create again, often referring to renewal or restoration.

Memory Tip

Think of 'creating again' — 're-' means again, and 'generare' means to produce. This helps you remember that regenerate means to bring something back to life or restore it.
