engendrado

Engendrado is a Spanish word that translates to "begotten," "generated," or "conceived" in English. It is often used in religious contexts, particularly in Christianity, to describe the relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ. In this context, "engendrado" signifies that Jesus is of the same divine essence as God the Father, not created in the same way a creature is made. This concept is central to the doctrine of the Trinity, emphasizing the eternal and divine nature of Jesus.

Beyond its theological usage, "engendrado" can also refer to the act of procreation or the generation of something new. In a more general sense, it can describe the origin or cause of something, implying that one thing has brought another into existence. For example, a certain policy might be said to have "engendrado" unrest, meaning it caused or generated that unrest. The word carries a sense of origin, creation, or causation, depending on the context in which it is used. Its meaning is nuanced and can range from a literal biological act to a more abstract metaphorical origin.
