Renewable derives from Latin re- (again) combined with the Old English 'new,' forming a word meaning 'capable of being made new again.' Energy originates from Greek energeia (activity, operation), formed from en- (in) and ergon (work), literally denoting the force or capacity to produce action.
Breakdown
re- (again) + new (fresh, recent) + -able (capable of being). Energy: Greek en- (in) + ergon (work) + -ia (noun suffix), originally meaning 'active operation or force.'
