Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root و-ر-ث (w-r-th), meaning to inherit. The noun وِراثة (heredity, inheritance) is built on this root, and وِراثِيّ is its nisba adjective, formed by adding the relational suffix يّ. So it literally means 'of or pertaining to inheritance', which is why it covers both 'hereditary' and 'genetic' in modern usage.
