Definition
Relating to or characteristic of genesis or origin; pertaining to the beginning or creation of something.
Etymology
From Genesis (Greek genésis, 'origin, creation') + -itic suffix. The term evolved to describe anything connected to origination or first principles, particularly used in philosophical and scientific contexts since the 19th century.
Kelly Says
This word shows how 'genesis' traveled from the biblical Book of Genesis into scientific terminology—today it's everywhere from 'Genesis blocks' in blockchain to the study of how things originate, proving ancient religious terms became the vocabulary of modern technology.
