Where this word comes from

Disputed. De Vaan suggests that this term was built on a root aorist of *ǵenh₁-. Alternatively, the term may derive from a thematic root present of the same root, perhaps whence also Sanskrit जनति (janati, “to beget, to produce, etc.”). Cognate with Latin gignō, Ancient Greek γείνομαι (geínomai, “to beget, to bring into being, (passively) to be born”), Ancient Greek γονή (gonḗ, “offspring, seed, act of generation”), Sanskrit जना (janā, “birth, origin”), and other multivarious formations in many languages.
