fertility

Ability to conceive

Fertility is the capacity to produce offspring or vegetation.

Fertile soil yields abundant crops; fertile animals reproduce readily.

Human fertility refers to the ability to conceive children: fertility treatments, fertility clinic.

The word extends to creative abundance—a fertile imagination generates many ideas.

Fertility rates measure births per population, a key demographic indicator.
