Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'genre' (derived from French, ultimately from Latin 'genus', meaning kind or type) and 'writer' (from Old English 'wrītere', from 'wrītan', meaning to score or write). It emerged in the 20th century with the commercial categorization of literature into distinct publishing categories such as science fiction, mystery, romance, and fantasy.
