Exegesis
This is immediately expanded by the appositional phrase gennēmata ekhidnōn {γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν | gennḗmata ekhidnôn}, “offspring of vipers,” which intensifies the denunciation by presenting the audience as the progeny of venomous creatures, a metaphor for inherited malice and danger.
Root and etymology
gennaogamma–epsilon–nu–nu–alpha–omega
“to beget, give birth”
In context — Matthew 23:33
Serpents , offspring of vipers, how will you escape from the judgment of hell?
