To produce offspring or create children, especially through sexual reproduction.
From Latin 'procreare'—'pro-' (forward) + 'creare' (to create or beget). The word has been used in English since the 1500s, originally in formal or religious contexts discussing reproduction.
This fancy word is basically just 'make babies,' but Latin-ified—which is why you see it in fancy scientific or legal documents instead of everyday chat!
