Origin of 'birthed'

The word 'birth' has its origins in Old English 'byrรพ,' which means 'the act of giving birth.' This term is related to similar words in other Germanic languages, such as Dutch 'geboorte' and German 'Geburt.' Over time, 'birth' evolved in English to encompass both the physical act of delivering a baby and, in broader terms, the beginning or origin of anything. The verb 'birthed' emerged as a way to denote the past action of giving birth, becoming more common in contemporary usage, especially in medical and informal contexts.
