Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'gender' (derived from the Latin genus meaning kind or race, popularized in sociological contexts in the mid-20th century) and 'discrimination' (from the Latin discriminare, meaning to divide or distinguish, evolving from neutral distinction to prejudicial treatment by the 17th century). Together, the compound phrase emerged prominently during the civil rights and feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s to describe systemic prejudice based on a person's sex or gender.
