germinal

My worry is that psychedelics may intensify attitudes that were already present in some germinal form.

But the most fascinating sections are the germinal passages upon which Agee would build and elaborate in the final version.

Germinal by Émile Zola My favorite reportorial 19th-century novel.

From the germinal impression of a description, all the details grow; to this primary impression they all contribute.

In a one-celled individual, there is no distinction between germinal and bodily functions.

In the youngest egg which I had, the germinal disc was already divided into four segments by two furrows at right angles.

The furrows in this case reached quite to the edge of the germinal disc.

Where it cuts the surface it forms the zone of lighter colour immediately surrounding the germinal disc.
