Derivatives of Latin Origin Going Back to the Indo-European Root *Gene- in the Russian Language

Aim. To establish derivatives of the Indo-European root *gene- with the meaning of ‘to give birth, to occur, to generate, to produce’ in the Russian language, their semantics, and the definition of the time of occurrence of derivatives in the Russian language.Methodology. The main research methods are descriptive, comparative, comparative-historical, and the technique of etymological analysis of derivatives was also used.Results. The identified words, which have phonetic and graphic forms that differ from each other, go back to a single Indo-European root *gene-. The data obtained allow us to trace the development of the semantic meaning of the root *gene- at various stages of the development of the Russian language.Research implications. Studies in the field of etymological analysis allow us to trace the phonetic and semantic changes of the words belonging to the same etymological nest. The results of the research will be reflected in the scientific project of the Department of General Linguistics named I. G. Dobrodomov and A. F. Losev Center for Russian Language and Culture (Institute of Philology, Moscow Pedagogical State University) – Derivational Dictionary of the Russian Language.
