Etymology

Borrowed from Latin pr?mipara (“pregnant for the first time; having given birth to only one offspring; primiparous”), from pr?mus (“first”) + parere (from pari? (“to bear, give birth to; to beget, produce”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to carry forth”)). The word is cognate with French primipare.
