regeneroida

Regeneroida is a Finnish verb meaning to regenerate, to restore lost tissue or function, or to renew something that has degraded. In everyday language it can refer to recovering health after illness, but in scientific contexts it describes biological, ecological, or technological renewal processes.

The noun form is regenerointi, and related adjectives include regeneroiva.

Regeneroida derives from Latin regenerare via Finnish phonology and morphology; the current form was standardised in the scientific vocabulary during the 19th and 20th centuries.

In biology, regeneration refers to regrowth or replacement of damaged tissues or missing body parts. Planarian flatworms, salamander limbs, and the liver in mammals exhibit regenerative capacity. In medicine, regenerative medicine aims to repair tissues using stem cells, biomaterials, and bioengineering. In botany and ecology, regeneration describes regrowth after pruning or disturbance, and the recovery of ecosystems after damage.
