Morphology
abiogenetic = biogenetic (semi-transparent) = a + bio + genet + ic
The scientific negative prefix 'a-' straightforwardly forms an opposite or contrasting adjective from 'biogenetic'.
Etymology
The word abiogenetic is made of three parts: a- 'without', bio 'life', and genetic 'origin', the same roots you see in biology and genetics. So abiogenetic means something that began 'without life', coming from non-living matter.
