generating

/ˈdʒɛnɝˌeɪtɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of generate

Word Origin From Latin generare 'to beget, produce,' from genus 'birth, race, kind' — so generating is the act of bringing something into existence. The root gen- is incredibly productive: generation, generator, regenerate, degenerate, genetic, generic, and even generous (originally 'of noble birth'). The PIE root *gene- meant 'to give birth, beget,' and it's the source of kin, king, and kind. So when you're generating ideas, you're giving birth to them.
