Something that belongs to or originates from two different genera or types; a hybrid from two distinct families.
From Latin 'bi-' meaning two, combined with 'genus' or 'genera' meaning type or kind. Scientific terminology created this word to classify organisms from different genera.
A bigener is like a hybrid on a grander scale—while mules are hybrids of horse and donkey (same family), a bigener crosses entirely different family lines, which is extremely rare!
