biogenesis

Etymology


From (ultimately from ) +  (ultimately from ). The words biogenesis and were both coined by English biologist  (1825–1895) in 1870 (see the quotation).

The word biogenesis was first used by English physiologist and neurologist (1837–1915) around 1869 to mean “life-origination or commencement” in an unpublished exchange of correspondence with Irish physicist. However, in an 1871 book, Bastian announced he was adopting a new term,, because of the confusion that might be caused by Huxley’s use of biogenesis with a different meaning.
