Origin

New Latin, from Greek gonos seed

gono-

Word Origin

a combining form meaning “sexual,” “reproductive,” used in the formation of compound words:

gonophore.

Also, especially before a vowel, gon-.

Origin

< Greek, combining form of gónos, gonḗ seed, generation; akin to Latin genus, Sanskrit janas

gono-a word element meaning 'sexual' or 'reproductive', as in gonococcus.
