📚🎭 género = Latin genus 'birth, kind': things born of the same family are one kind

Género comes from Latin genus, from the root gen- meaning to beget or be born. Same root as generate, gene, genre and generation. Things born together share a kind, so género covers kind, genre, genus and grammatical gender.
