WORD FOR THE DAY(5/21/18)Nascent
Word of the Day : May 7th, 2018
Nascent
Definition
: coming or having recently come into existence
Did You Know?
Nascent comes from nascens, the present participle of the Latin verb nasci, which means "to be born." It is a relative newcomer to the collection of English words that derive from that Latin verb. In fact, when the word nascent was itself a newborn, in the first quarter of the 17th century, other nasci offspring were already respectably mature. Nation, native, and nature had been around since the 1300s; innate and natal, since the 1400s. More recently, we picked up some French descendants of nasci: née in the 1700s and Renaissance in the 1800s. One of our newer nasci words is perinatology, which was first used in the late 1960s to name the specialized branch of medicine concerned with childbirth.
Examples
"At this point, the scholarly reexamination of the Bible met up with another movement, the nascent Protestant Reformation." James L. Kugel, How to Read the Bible, 2007
"Bezos starts by upending the world of books with his start-up Amazon, using the nascent Internet to challenge brick-and-mortar book chains like Barnes and Noble." Chris Impey, The Washington Post, 1 Apr. 2018

I think in Hitlery's case, the correct word would be "Spawn".
