α. 1800s agenesia, 1800s agenesis.

β. 1800s agennesis, 1800s– agennesia.

Etymology: Partly (i) < post-classical Latin agenesia male sterility, impotence (1764 or earlier; earlier in theological context in sense ‘incapacity of being generated’ (1724 or earlier)) < ancient Greek ἀ- a- prefix⁶ + γένεσις genesis n. + classical Latin -ia -ia suffix¹; and partly (ii) < scientific Latin agennesia male sterility, impotence (1838 or earlier) < ancient Greek ἀ- a- prefix⁶ + γέννησις engendering, production ( < γεννᾶν to engender, produce (see porphyrogenite n.) + -σις -sis suffix) + classical Latin -ia -ia suffix¹. Compare Byzantine Greek ἀγεννησία uncreatedness, post-classical Latin agennesia (1564 or earlier).In forms in -is after genesis n. and its remote etymon ancient Greek γένεσις. N.E.D. (1884) gives the pronunciation of agennesis as (ædʒėnī·sis) /ædʒɪˈniːsɪs/.
