The Latin word for species is genus (nominative), generis (genitive). While genus, -Eris can be translated as species, depending on the context of the sentence, it can also mean birth, descent, noble birth, descendant, race, kind or class. The exact definition of genus, -Eris fluctuates in accordance to the context of the sentence.
