Of or pertaining to generation or being generated; relating to something that has been produced or brought into existence.
From Latin genitus (past participle of gignere, 'to beget, produce') + -ous suffix. Used in philosophical and theological contexts to describe things that are created or generated.
In medieval theology, 'genetous being' meant anything that was created or brought into existence—as opposed to God, who was eternal and 'ungenerated,' making this a philosophical term that separated mortals from the divine.
