birthed
Gave life to
Birthed is the past tense of birth used as a verb, meaning to give birth to or bring into existence.
While *gave birth to* remains more common, birthed appears in both literal and figurative contexts: She birthed three children at home, The movement birthed a new political party.
The usage strikes some as awkward or needlessly novel, though it has a long history.
