Etymology

The word 'calved' originates from the Old English term 'cealfian', which meant to give birth to a calf. The term is related to 'calf', the young of the bovine. This connection indicates the agricultural roots of the word, reflecting farming practices from early English-speaking societies. As livestock farming became integral to these communities, specific terminology developed for various aspects of animal husbandry, including birthing. Over time, 'calve' became standardized in its current form and usage, especially in the context of livestock management and breeding. The agricultural dictionary entries highlight the importance of understanding animal gestation and birthing processes, leading to better care and productivity in animal husbandry.
