means A person who brings up a child, whether by birth, adoption, or care — the one responsible for raising and nurturing them.
from From Latin 'parens,' meaning 'one who brings forth,' tied to the verb 'parere,' to give birth or produce. It traveled through Old French 'parent' before settling into English in the 1400s. The same root quietly seeds words like 'parturition' and even, distantly, 'repertoire' — all circling the idea of producing or bringing into being.
