What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
To beget, bring forth, give birth to. Of a father, it means to beget a child 1234; of a mother, it means to bear or give birth to a child 1234. In the passive it means to be begotten or to be born 12.
The word is also used figuratively, of spiritual begetting: Christians are described as begotten or born of God, born again 12, and the term can likewise be applied to producing something abstract, such as when strife or disputes are said to be "begotten" or engendered 1.
