Morphology
allogeneic = allogene (opaque) = allo + gene + ic
The term 'allogeneic' is specialized and not easily derived from 'gene' and 'allo-' without specific biological knowledge.
Etymology
The word allogeneic comes from the Greek parts allo- meaning 'other' and gen- meaning 'born' or 'kind', the same root you see in gene and genetic. So allogeneic describes cells or tissue that come from an 'other' person, not from the same person.
