the formation of steroids, as by the adrenal cortex, testes, and ovaries
Word origin
[1950–55; steroid + -o- + -genesis]This word is first recorded in the period 1950–55. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: drip-dry, hot line, point spread, point-of-sale, wiretap-o- is the typical ending of the first element of compounds of Greek origin (as -i- is, in compounds of Latin origin), used regularly in forming new compounds with elementsof Greek origin and often used in English as a connective irrespective of etymology(Franco-Italian; geography; seriocomic; speedometer)
