terrigenaproduced by the earth
adja-stemterrestrial, of earthly birthFrom *erþō (‘earth’) + *kundaz (‘born, of a particular nature or disposition). It is uncertain whether this adjective already existed in Proto-Germanic; the apparent descendants may also be explained as parallel post-Proto-Germanic formations. The Gothic term is commonly cited as a calque of Latin terrigena (‘produced by the earth’).
