The genitive is a form of a noun in some languages that shows a tie of belonging or origin — that one thing is of another, or comes from another. German, Latin, Russian, and Greek change the noun a lot to do this job. English mostly does not: we say the girl’s book or the book of the girl. Grammar books sometimes still call that ’s the genitive; though actually many teachers just say “,” and both names point at the same job. You meet this word in language class, not in the street. It can be a noun (the genitive) or a describing word (a genitive form). It is not genetic, which is about genes and what a living thing inherits — they look cousin-like on the page, and that is what tricks people.
組成From Late Middle English genetif + English -ive (“relating to”). Genetif came from Anglo-Norman and Middle French genetif, genitif (modern French génitif), from Latin genetīvus — used both for “about bringing forth offspring” and for this grammar case — from genitus (“begotten”).
