The answer
BREED
What breed means
To produce offspring through sexual reproduction, or to raise and care for animals or plants for the purpose of producing more of them.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *bredan*, meaning to nourish or cherish. Related to Old High German *braten* and Old Norse *bræða*, all likely from a Proto-Germanic root meaning to warm or incubate. The sense shifted from the physical act of warming eggs to producing offspring, then to the animals themselves and finally to varieties or types.
