NOUN:
• (Latin) a taxonomic group of lower rank than a family
• a principal taxonomic category that ranks above species and below family, and is denoted by a capitalized Latin name, e.g. "Leo".
• (in philosophical and general use) a class of things which have common characteristics and which can be divided into subordinate kinds.
• group of animals or plants
• A class of objects divided into several subordinate species; a class more extensive than a species; a precisely defined and exactly divided class; one of the five predicable conceptions, or sorts of terms.
• An assemblage of species, having so many fundamental points of structure in common, that in the judgment of competent scientists, they may receive a common substantive name. A genus is not necessarily the lowest definable group of species, for it may often be divided into several subgenera. In proportion as its definition is exact, it is natural genus; if its definition can not be made clear, it is more or less an artificial genus.
• a general kind of something
