How Do You Spell ENGENDER?

The word "engender" is spelled with a soft "g" sound and the "en" prefix to indicate the creation or production of something. Phonetically, it is written as /ɛnˈdʒɛndər/ with the stress on the second syllable. The "en" prefix comes from Old English, meaning "to put or bring into."

ENGENDER Meaning and Definition

  1. Engender is a verb that is derived from the Old French term "engendre," meaning "to give birth to" or "to produce." It refers to the act of causing or bringing about something, typically an emotion, situation, or condition. Essentially, it means to generate, create, or provoke a particular outcome.

    When something engenders a certain effect or result, it means that it has the ability to bring forth or induce it. For instance, a passionate speech can engender feelings of inspiration and motivation among the audience. Similarly, a traumatic event may engender fear or anxiety in affected individuals.

    Additionally, engender can be applied to more abstract concepts such as ideas, policies, or movements. For example, a social reform may engender positive changes in a community, while a controversial policy may engender dissent and opposition.

    Overall, the term engender can encompass both the act of causing something to happen and the subsequent result or effect that is produced. It implies a connection between cause and effect, emphasizing the power to bring forth or create something new.

Common Misspellings for ENGENDER

Etymology of ENGENDER

The word "engender" comes from the Old French "engendrer" which can be traced back to the Latin word "ingenerare". In Latin, "ingenerare" was derived from the combination of "in" (meaning "in" or "into") and "generare" (meaning "to generate" or "to produce"). Therefore, the etymology of "engender" suggests that it originally meant "to produce" or "to bring into existence". Over time, its meaning evolved to include the sense of "to cause" or "to give rise to" something.
