Genre
Genre (, or ; from
French genre , "kind" or "sort", from
Latin genus (
stem gener-),
Greek γένος,

Genres form by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones is discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions.
