Relating to generation, procreation, or the capacity to produce offspring.
From Latin 'genitorius' meaning 'of parents' or 'generative,' constructed to describe things connected to the act of generating or reproducing.
In older scientific and philosophical texts, 'genitory power' or 'genitory organs' was the formal way to discuss reproduction—it's a word that shows how language changes when science becomes more casual and less Latin-focused.
