genética

/xeˈnetika/ · B2 · noun · f

genetics

🧬 genética = gene + tic-ah: the 'gene' sound (heh-NET-ika) is right inside it

Spanish genética comes from Greek genesis, 'origin, birth', the same root as English gene and genesis. Hear heh-NET-ika as 'gene-etic-a', then link it to English genetic, which is nearly the same word.
