brainchild
One's own idea
A brainchild is something a person has originated or invented—an idea, plan, or creation they're proud of.
The word emphasizes personal ownership and creative investment: The festival was her brainchild.
Like a biological child, a brainchild is something you've brought into existence and feel responsible for.
