juvenescence
State of youthfulness
Juvenescence is the state or process of becoming young again, or the transition from childhood to youth.
The word appears mainly in literary or scientific contexts: the juvenescence of spring, cellular juvenescence.
It suggests renewal or the early vigor of development rather than mere youthfulness.
