Etymology

Simplified learned borrowing from German Physiontogenie, itself from physio- + Ontogenie; equivalent to a reduction of physio- + ontogeny to physio- (“nature”) + -geny (“origin”). The simplification means that the term is also used to translate German Physiogenie, the distinction between Physiontogenie and Physiogenie not being made in English.
