Where this word comes from

From Proto-Italic *gignō, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵíǵn̥h₁eti, the reduplicated present stem of *ǵenh₁- (“to produce, beget”). The perfect form genuī may derive from a Proto-Italic aorist stem *gena-, itself perhaps from an original root aorist *ǵénh₁t. De Vaan suggests that the perfect participle form genitus may have replaced earlier *gnātos on the model of the aoristic form genuī. The original perfect participle may be continued by prōgnātus and nātus. Cognate to Ancient Greek γίγνομαι (gígnomai, “to come into being, to be born, to take place”).
