The body's way of saying this wound is temporary, your scar is forever.
means The process of regrowing or renewing damaged tissue, cells, or structures — or more broadly, being restored to a better or earlier state.
from Built from Latin re- ('again') plus generare ('to beget, produce'), the root behind 'generate.' Genus-related words all trace back to a Proto-Indo-European root about birth and kin, so regeneration is literally 'being begotten again' — a second birth grafted onto the first.
