Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch baren. The a in the stem and the weak inflection are unetymological, but their origin is unknown. The form developed from and displaced the older strong beren (still found in modern ontberen), from Old Dutch beran, from Proto-Germanic *beran?. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *b?er-.

Verb

baren

1. (transitive) to bear, to give birth to
2. (transitive) to cause, to bring about

Inflection

The strong past participle geboren is also used, but only with the meaning "given birth, born".
