单词 antegenital
释义

antegenitaladj.

Origin: Perhaps of multiple origins. Probably partly a borrowing from Latin. Perhaps partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin antegenitālis ; ante- prefix, genital adj.
Etymology: In early use probably (in spite of the difference in meaning; compare sense 1) < classical Latin antegenitālis that existed before birth < ante- ante- prefix + genitālis genital adj. In later use perhaps independently < ante- prefix + genital adj.
Obsolete. rare.
1. Born before, elder.
ΚΠ

2. Present or occurring before birth.
