Fathered or produced; the past participle of 'beget,' describing a child or something created.
From Old English 'begetan' meaning 'to obtain or produce,' from 'be-' (thoroughly) and 'getan' (to get). It's been used for centuries in genealogies and biblical contexts to mean 'fathered.'
The phrase 'only begotten son' in the Bible used 'begotten' to mean not just fathered but uniquely created—it's one of the most sacred meanings of an otherwise ordinary word!
