== English == === Noun === genitus (meteorology, rare outside compounds) A cloud that develops from another, different cloud. 2014, Pilot's Weather: A Commonsense Approach to Meteorology: Cumulus genitus (Cugen) A developing cu may reach equilibrium at any stage [...and] can spread out as stratiform cloud [...] 2019 November 6, Mother Clouds, in Atticus Review There are two kinds of mother clouds: genitus, where a part of a cloud may develop, and more or less pronounced extensions may form; and mutatus […] 2020 May 27, MrNonam3 (username), in What is the difference between mutatus and genitus clouds?: It is kind of hard to difference but a genitus cloud is a totally newborn cloud that comes from a previous cloud and mutatus is more the previous cloud that transformed into another. For example, an altostratus coming from a cirrostratus, is mutatus because it is the same cloud, just denser and lower. It transformed so much that it can't be cirrostratus. But a cirrus spissatus that comes from a died thunderstorm is genitus because the cumulonimbus died while some of its upper parts began to be another, totally different cloud. == Latin == === Etymology === Reflects a Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁-tos, which displaced the original *ǵn̥h₁-tós, whence Latin nātus, which came to belong to a different verb. In light of Proto-Italic *genatā, the change conceivably happened during the Italic period, though see there for possible counterarguments. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɡɛ.nɪ.tʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈd͡ʒɛː.ni.tus] === Participle === genitus (feminine genita, neuter genitum); first/second-declension participle perfect passive participle of gignō begotten engendered produced ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Italian: -genito Old French: gent Occitan: gent Gascon: géncer (comparative forme of beròi from *genitiorem) === References === “genitus”, in Charlton T.
