Morphology
xenogeneic = xenogene (semi-transparent) = xeno + gene + ic
The suffix '-ic' forms an adjective from the noun 'xenogene', indicating a relationship to genes from different species.
Etymology
Xenogeneic comes from Greek parts xeno- meaning 'foreign' or 'stranger' and gene meaning 'origin' or 'birth', and you can see gene in the word genetic. So xenogeneic describes cells or tissue that come from another species, which is why using them in transplants can be riskier than human donor tissue.
