Etymology
'adiposogenital' originates from Latin, specifically the words 'adiposus' meaning 'fatty' and 'genitalis' meaning 'pertaining to reproduction'.
'adiposogenital' was derived from the combination of Latin words 'adiposus' and 'genitalis', and eventually became the modern English word 'adiposogenital'.
Initially, it meant 'pertaining to fatty and reproductive characteristics', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
