Semen
The English word semen comes from the Latin word sēmen, which means "seed". In fact, seed was an old-fashioned name for semen. The Latin word sēmen itself came from another Latin word, serěre, which means "to plant (a plant into the ground) or to sow (seeds in the earth)". It was once thought that semen was like a seed that grew into a baby after being "planted" inside a woman's body.
