1815 J. G. Spurzheim Physiognom. Syst. Pref. 10 I am aware that the name..ought to indicate love of producing offspring. As however progeny means offspring, and philoprogeny love of offspring, and philoprogenitiveness the faculty of producing love of offspring, I have adopted that term.

1826 Edinb. Rev. 44 269 Why therefore should we not have a separate principle of Philoprogenitiveness?

1856 F. L. Olmsted Journey Slave States 425 The nurse was a kind-looking old negro woman, with, no doubt, philoprogenitiveness well developed.

1871 E. B. Lytton Coming Race xv. 117 Their philoprogenitiveness takes rather the character of compassion and tenderness to things that need aid or protection than of the animal love of offspring.

1915 C. P. Gilman Herland in Forerunner Dec. 324/1 I don't think Terry had what the phrenologists call ‘the lump of philoprogenitiveness’ at all well developed.

1925 Amer. Mercury May 13/1 One could not help wonder whether his passionate outcries and mighty kickings were not in the way of a warning to those two to look out and get busy, instead of sitting there almost befuddled with philoprogenitiveness.

2. Inclination to or liking for the production of offspring; fecundity. Cf. philogenitiveness n.
