'urogenital' originates from New Latin, specifically the elements 'uro-' and 'genitalis', where 'uro-' meant 'urine' and 'genitalis' meant 'of birth or generation'.

'urogenital' developed from New Latin 'urogenitalis'. The prefix 'uro-' ultimately comes from Greek 'ouron' (οὖρον) meaning 'urine', and 'genitalis' comes from Latin related to 'genitus' / 'gignere' meaning 'to beget' or 'of birth'; these elements combined in New Latin and were adopted into English as 'urogenital'.

Initially, it meant 'pertaining to urine and reproduction' (i.e., the urinary and reproductive organs), and over time it has retained that medical/biological meaning in modern usage.
