🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
Derived from Latin, combining the prefix 're-' (again) with 'juvenis' (young) and the suffix '-ation' (action or process). The word literally means the process of becoming young again, metaphorically referring to the restoration of youth or vitality.
Breakdown
re- (again, anew) + juvenis (young) + -ation (noun-forming suffix denoting action or result). The Latin root 'juvenis' relates to 'juventa' (youth) and ultimately connects to the Indo-European root meaning 'to join' or 'to live together.'
