Where this word comes from

From Proto-Italic *gnāskōr, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁- (“to give birth”), with the inchoative suffix -scō from Proto-Indo-European *-sḱéti. The word-initial *gn- was regularly simplified to n-; however, gnātus is attested in Old Latin as an alternative form of the perfect active participle nātus "born", and also (more frequently) as an early form of the noun nātus "son". As a noun, gnātus continued to be used by later authors as a (mostly poetic) archaism. Related to gignō (“to beget; to give birth to; to bring forth”). Cognate with Ancient Greek γεννάω (gennáō, “to beget”).
