Sorry, but you must have noticed that that’s only the FOURTH definition in the dictionary you got that from. Do you know why the most common usage would be the fourth definition listed? Because it’s merely colloquial.
“Pregnant” comes from when the French ruled England, and people used French for words which would sound crude in English. (”Pardon my French.”) It roughly means “waiting” and although the spelling is now archaic in French, it’s the present participle of “prendre,” meaning, “to take” or, in this sense, “to take up.”
Something that is “impregnable” is inaccessible not because it insists you wear a condom, but because it cannot be “taken.”
The three earlier definitions of “pregnant,” you will notice are:
1. cogent (as in, “grasping”)
2. abounding in fancy, wit or resourcefulness (capable of “grabbing” attention).
3. rich in significance or implication.
Also, listed fifth because it’s archaic, but that also means its also an earlier meaning:
5. inclined, or disposed towards.
