Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the English words 'next' (from Old English 'nexta') and 'generation' (from Latin 'generatio', from 'genus' meaning birth or race). The compound adjectival phrase gained widespread currency in the late 20th century, particularly within technology, engineering, and popular culture to denote advanced innovations superseding current standards, corresponding to the Japanese transliteration 'jisedai-no' (次世代の).
