An archaic or variant spelling of autogenous; self-generated or self-originating.
From Greek 'auto-' and 'genuus' (from genos). A rare variant spelling found in historical scientific texts, largely superseded by 'autogenous.'
This spelling variant vanished from modern science, but finding it in old medical texts shows how English technical language evolved and standardized over centuries.
