The word “beget” appears in literature with a wide range of meanings, from the literal act of fathering children to more abstract notions of producing or causing an effect. In religious and historical writings, it frequently denotes lineage and the transmission of blessing or curse—as in the sacred mandates of progeny [1, 2, 3]. Meanwhile, classical and philosophical texts extend its meaning to processes where one condition gives rise to another, emphasizing causal relationships, such as how virtue begets esteem or order begets progress [4, 5]. Even in dramatic and rhetorical contexts, “beget” is employed to evoke the creation of ideas or the unfolding of fate, deepening the narrative by linking actions with their consequences [6, 7].
