procreated

Brought forth young

Procreated is the past tense of procreate, meaning to produce offspring through sexual reproduction.

The word carries a formal or clinical tone compared to simpler alternatives like "had children": They procreated and raised a family.

It emphasizes the biological act of reproduction rather than the social aspects of parenting.
