Oh worrrrrrd?

Your etymology game is suffering, kids. You're lucky I'm so clutch.
Today's word: GENUINE!

Originally meant "placed on the knees." In Ancient Rome, a father legally claimed his newborn child by sitting in front of his family and placing his child on his knee.

"L. genuīnus, f. genu KNEE; the original reference was to the recognition of a new-born child by the father placing it on his knees."
