Root Explanation

Erogenic is formed from "ero-" (from Greek "eros", meaning love or desire) and "genic" (from Greek "genes", meaning produced by or generating). The word describes something that produces or arouses love or desire.

Memory Tip

Think of 'eros' as representing love or desire, and 'genic' as something that generates — so erogenic refers to something that generates feelings of love or desire.
