Genezen
Genezen is a Dutch verb meaning to cure or heal, and also to recover from illness or injury. It can be used transitively, as in de arts geneest de patiënt, and intransitively, for example zij is volledig genezen. The related noun genezing denotes the process or result of healing. In medical contexts, genezen usually implies a complete cure in which the disease is eliminated, though many conditions are only controllable, lead to remission, or result in long-term management rather than a definitive cure.
