Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English preignant, from Old French preignant, pregnant, also prenant (compare archaic Modern French prégnant), and their source, Latin praegnāns (pregnant), probably from prae- (pre-) + *gnāscī, an archaic form of nāscī (to be born). Displaced bearnēacen (literally "child-enlarged").
