genezen
Dutch
Etymology
From Middle Dutch genesen, from Old Dutch *ginesan, from Proto-Germanic *ganesaną, in which the Proto-Germanic *ga- prefix indicates completeness (perfectivity), and the Proto-Indo-European *nes- (“to return home”) recovery. The now-obsolete verb generen (“to provide for oneself”) is also derived from this root, as is nering.
