regeneration

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'restoration' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'note sections of family into baroque' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 're' (as in do-re-mi).
'sections of family' becomes 'genera' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'baroque' is an anagram indicator (baroque can mean fancy or complex).
'into' with letters rearranged gives 'tion'.
're'+'genera'+'tion'='REGENERATION'

Can you help me to learn more?
