Barnhart says that it is appealing to make a connection with Latin genū ‘knee’, root of genuflect ‘to bend the knee’, a supposed ancient custom of a father acknowledging paternity of a new-born by placing it on his knee. Despite this association, “no semantic connection can be made that will stand close examination”.
