indigenous

indigenous: [17] The -gen- of indigenous comes from the same ultimate source – Indo-European *gen- – as produced English gender, generate, genital, etc. It denoted ‘produce’. The addition of the Latin prefix indi- ‘in, within’, earlier indu- (a strengthened form of in- originally formed with de ‘down’, which also appears in indigent ‘poor’ [14] and industry) produced indigena ‘born or produced in a particular place, native’, which English adopted and adapted as indigenous.
=> gender, general, generate, genital, kind

indigenous (adj.)
