Geniture

/ˈdʒɛnɪtʃər/ noun

Definition

Birth, origin, or the circumstances of someone's coming into being; sometimes refers to astrological birth configuration.

Etymology

From Old French 'geniture' and Latin 'genitura' meaning birth or offspring, derived from 'gignere' (to beget). In medieval times, it was used especially in astrology to refer to the moment of birth.

Kelly Says

Medieval astrologers used 'geniture' to mean your birth chart or natal configuration—it's why we still say someone was 'born under' a certain sign, even though most of us have forgotten this poetic old word!
