past tense

The term 'lambed' refers to the act of giving birth to a lamb. This term is specifically used in the context of sheep and goats, which are known for their lamb births, typically occurring in the spring. When a ewe gives birth, it is common for her to deliver one or more lambs at once, hence this verb captures the act of such a reproductive event. Lambing is a critical period in sheep husbandry, as the health and care of both the mother and the newborns are pivotal for successful rearing. The term is less commonly used outside of agricultural settings.

Synonyms

bore, delivered, gave birth.

Examples of usage

  • The ewe lambed last night.
  • Our flock lambed early this year.

Etymology

The word 'lambed' comes from the Old English word 'lamb', which is derived from Proto-West Germanic *lamb, and is related to similar words in other Germanic languages, such as 'lamm' in German and 'lamm' in Dutch. The word has been used in English since the 14th century, evolving from its Old English roots to describe the young of sheep specifically. The act of lambing, or giving birth to a lamb, also has ties to agricultural traditions and practices, where the focus on breeding and livestock management have made this term significant in farming communities. As sheep farming became more prevalent, especially in regions with suitable climates for pastoral agriculture, the necessity to precisely describe the birthing process became important. Hence, 'lambed' has secured its place as a term within both agricultural practices and the English lexicon.
