Etymology
The word 'inseminate' comes from the Latin word 'inseminatus', which is derived from the prefix 'in-' meaning 'in' or 'into' and the verb 'seminare' meaning 'to sow'. The term originally referred to the act of sowing seeds in agriculture. Over time, it came to be used in the context of animal reproduction to describe the introduction of sperm into the female reproductive tract for fertilization.
