begats
Produces as offspring
Begats is the plural of begat, the archaic past tense of beget—to father or sire offspring.
The word is strongly associated with biblical genealogies, where long chains of X begat Y trace lineages through generations.
The begats refers informally to these tedious genealogical passages: I always skip the begats when reading Genesis.
