Etymology
'abiogenetically' originates from the Greek word 'abiogenesis,' where 'a-' meant 'without,' 'bio' meant 'life,' and 'genesis' meant 'origin or creation.'
'abiogenesis' transformed into the English word 'abiogenetic,' and eventually became the adverb 'abiogenetically.'
Initially, it meant 'originating from non-living matter,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
