Greek roots are the simple elements out of which Greek words are formed. Likewise, Latin roots are the simple elements out of which Latin words are formed. In Latin, the phrase 'definition of Greek and Latin roots' is 'definitio radicum graecarum latinarumque'. In the word by word translation, the noun 'definitio' means 'definition'. The noun 'radicum' means 'roots'. The adjective 'graecarum' means 'Greek'. The noun 'latinarum' means 'Latin'. And the enclitic 'que' means 'and'.

The word "generate" is from the Latin word generatus, which is the past participle of the verb generare, "to produce, to procreate, to beget". This is ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *gen- "beget; be born", which yielded many other Greek and Latin words, including the Greek word for "generate, produce", ΓΕΝΝΑΩ, ΓΕΝΝΩ.
