Word origin
The word 'parentage' dates back to the 14th century and comes from the Middle English word 'parantage', which in turn comes from the Old French word 'parantage'. It is derived from the Latin word 'parentare', which means 'to beget'. The concept of parentage has been important in societies throughout history, determining social status, inheritance rights, and familial connections.
