Morphology
heterogenic = hetero + gen + ic
The prefix hetero- suggests 'different', but the suffixal element is specialized, so the overall meaning is only partly recoverable from the form.
Etymology
Heterogenic comes from the Greek parts hetero- 'different' and -genic 'born' or 'origin', a meaning you can spot in words like genetic. So heterogenic simply means made of different or diverse parts.
