The answer
BROOD
What brood means
A group of young animals, especially birds or insects, hatched or cared for together, or to think deeply and anxiously about something for an extended period.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "brod," meaning offspring or a group of young animals, related to Old Saxon "brod" and Old High German "brot." The verb meaning "to sit on eggs" developed from the noun sense, and the sense of "to think anxiously" emerged later through the idea of brooding hens sitting still and contemplative. The root likely connects to Proto-Germanic words related to warmth and breeding.
