  Generic \Ge*ner"ic\, Generical \Ge*ner"ic*al\, a. [L. genus,
     generis, race, kind: cf. F. g['e]n['e]rique. See Gender.]
     [1913 Webster]
     1. (Biol.) Pertaining to a genus or kind; relating to a
        genus, as distinct from a species, or from another genus;
        as, a generic description; a generic difference; a generic
        name. [WordNet sense 1]
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Very comprehensive; pertaining or appropriate to large
        classes or their characteristics; -- opposed to

        of the names of medications; as, a generic drug; the
        generic name of Rogaine is minoxidil. [WordNet sense 2]
        [PJC]
  
     Note: Since patented medications cannot be sold except under
           license from the patentee, medication which is still
           under patent is not typically sold as a generic drug,
           i.e., sold under its generic name, though it can be
           referred to by its generic name.
           [PJC]
