/d͡ʒins/

Probably from Classical Syriac ܓܸܢܣܵܐ (gensā), which is in turn probably from Ancient Greek γένος (génos), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵénh₁os. Alternatively, but much less likely, from Latin genus from the same Indo-European etymon. For the word's meanings, compare with German Geschlecht (“race; genus; maleness or femaleness; grammatical gender”).
