Pronunciation: re-pew-bess

Sentence: Fred had worked his whole life, right up until his 86th birthday when the symptoms began. Repubescophobia had gripped him at 55 and refused to let go. His family had called it for what it was, just getting old, but Fred had stoically worked long and hard to stave off the inevitable. Now, he looked hopefully up at the doctor for an answer, but he quickly saw, with what remained of his vision, that her face said it all. He was going to repubesce, and there was nothing he could do. His repubescence was upon him, and there was no miracle drug on the planet that could stop repuberty. Fred was doomed, so he resigned himself to his fate and asked the pretty young doctor for a lollipop.

Etymology: re-: prefix, used to indicate repetition, or with the meaning again, back or backward to indicate withdrawal or backward motion. + pubescence: to arrive, or begin puberty (the beginning of adolescence when the sex glands become functional)

Pronunciation: re-na-ta-lize

Sentence: Renatalization was a subfield of Geriatrics and still in the experimental stages. Adolfia Ghering, MD, was among its pioneers. The hopes and dreams of mankind were still a fertile (and sometimes foolish, Adolfia thought) field full of promise. Finding just the right patients took...well, patience. But, afterall, the market was ripe with eager Baby Boomers. Sitting before her now was a dear little man who looked so much like Albert Einstein. Soon she would know if little Albert had been a cute and cuddly baby. Now that the technique had been approved for trial, Adolfia just needed this guy to sign on the dotted line while there was still time to renatalize him. Now if she could just get the pen to stay in his trembling hand...

Etymology: From re, meaning again + natal, meaning relating to one's time of birth
