What does BEGET mean in Scrabble?
verb
formalliterary
To father a child, or to cause something to come into existence.
Beget covers both the literal sense of fathering a child, used almost always of a man in older texts, and the broader figurative sense of one thing producing another, as in violence begets violence. The verb has largely dropped out of everyday speech, surviving mainly in formal, legal, biblical, or deliberately old-fashioned writing. Its irregular forms, begot and the archaic begat for the past tense and begotten for the past participle, are themselves reminders of how old the word is.
