Parturient
from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day
Parturient is an adjective that means about to give birth. The Latin verb parere (pa RARE ay) means ‘to bring forth.’ Our word of the day can be used in a medical sense or in everyday conversation. My wife was parturient when we went on our trip, so we weren’t sure what state Evan would be born in. It turned out, Susan gave birth in New Mexico, a place with great hospital wards for pregnant women.
