genesis
Where things begin
Genesis is a beginning or origin—the point at which something comes into being: the genesis of an idea, the genesis of a friendship.
The word carries a sense of creation or emergence rather than mere starting point, suggesting something newly formed rather than simply commenced. (Capitalized Genesis is the first book of the Bible.)
