"Genus" is a word in LAW AND LEGAL, ENGLISH
In the civil law. A general class or dlvision, comprising several species. In toto jure generi per speciem derogatnr, et illud potisaimum habetur quod ad speciem directum eat, throughout the law, the species takes from the genus, and that is most par-ticularly regarded which refers to the species. Dig. 50, 17, 80
An assemblage of species, having so many fundamental points
of structure in common, that in the judgment of competent scientists,
they may receive a common substantive name. A genus is not necessarily
the lowest definable group of species, for it may often be divided into
several subgenera. In proportion as its definition is exact, it is
natural genus; if its definition can not be made clear, it is more or
less an artificial genus.
A class of objects divided into several subordinate species;
a class more extensive than a species; a precisely defined and exactly
divided class; one of the five predicable conceptions, or sorts of
terms.
