A Greek anatomical term referring to the jaw or chin, sometimes used in medical or technical contexts.
From Greek geny- (jaw, chin), which appears in many medical compound terms. This represents the Greek root in its simpler form, sometimes appearing in older medical texts.
Genys is a classical Greek term that survives mainly in medical dictionaries and compound words—it's the building block that makes genyoplasty, genyantrum, and similar technical terms, even if we rarely use genys alone anymore.
