Morphology

allogenic = allo + gen + ic

This is a learned scientific term built from classical combining forms, but its specialized biological meaning is not recoverable for an average learner from allo- + gen- + -ic.

Etymology

Allogenic comes from the Greek parts allo- meaning 'other' and -genic meaning 'produced' or 'coming from' (you can see -genic in familiar words like photogenic). So allogenic describes something that comes from an outside source — for example, cells or tissue that come from another person rather than from a person's own body.
