Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin 'genealogia', from Greek 'genealogia', combining 'genea' (race, generation) and 'logia' (study of). Entering the English language in the late 14th century, it initially referred to the tracing of ancestral lineages and later expanded to encompass the evolutionary or historical development of ideas, concepts, and disciplines.
