Etymology
Romanian borrowed "genetic" from French "génétique" in the modern era, as science built a technical vocabulary around heredity. The French word rests on Greek "genetikos" (γενετικός), meaning "generative" or "pertaining to origin." That Greek word connects to "genos" (γένος, "race, kind") and "genesis" (γένεσις, "origin, birth"), both from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to beget."
