Relating to or tracing family descent or lineage; pertaining to genealogy; ancestral.
From Late Latin 'genealogicus,' ultimately from Greek 'genealogia' (account of descent), combining 'genos' (kind, race) and 'logia' (study of). Shortened form of 'genealogical' used in specialized contexts.
This is the less common shorthand for 'genealogical'—scholars might use it in specialized texts, but 'genealogical' won the popularity contest in modern English.
