Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Latin prīmipara (“pregnant for the first time; having given birth to only one offspring; primiparous”),[1] from prīmus (“first”) + parere[2] (from pariō (“to bear, give birth to; to beget, produce”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to carry forth”)). The word is cognate with French primipare.
