B2 noun

géniteur

When discussing family, the term «géniteur» refers specifically to a biological father. It's often used in contrast to a stepfather («beau-père») or an adoptive father («père adoptif»). While «père» is the general term for father, «géniteur» emphasizes the genetic connection. You might encounter this term in legal or scientific contexts, or when distinguishing between different paternal figures in someone's life.
