Geniting

/ˈdʒɛnɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of 'genit' (an archaic or rare verb meaning to beget, father, or generate offspring).

Etymology

From Latin 'genit-' (past participle stem of 'gignere', meaning to beget or produce). The '-ing' suffix creates the present participle form.

Kelly Says

Geniting is an archaic word we rarely use anymore because 'generating', 'begetting', and 'fathering' are more common, but it preserves the same Latin root that gives us words like 'genius' and 'gene'.
