Definition
The ability to produce many offspring or to be very fertile; also, the state of being productive or generative in any field.
Etymology
From Latin 'fecunditas,' combining 'fecundus' (fertile, fruitful) with the noun suffix '-itas.' The term entered English in the 1600s and has been used both literally (reproduction) and figuratively (creative productivity).
Kelly Says
Fecundity is one of those rare scientific words that works perfectly as both a biological term AND a poetic metaphor—you can talk about a rabbit's fecundity or a poet's fecundity of imagination, and both make perfect sense!
