genético
/xeˈnetiko/ · B2 · adj
genetic
🧬 genético = gene + tic-o: sounds like 'heh-NET-ee-ko', a gene net of traits
Spanish genético comes from Greek genesis, 'origin', the same root as English gene and genesis. Link the shared gen- stem: gen-ético is about what is passed on at origin, so it is just genetic with an -o ending.
