the.com/contraceptive

means Something used to prevent pregnancy by stopping conception from happening in the first place.

from Built from Latin contra, 'against,' plus conceptive, from concipere, 'to take in, become pregnant' (the same root behind 'conceive'). The word itself is a 19th-century coinage, assembled by doctors and reformers who needed a clinical term for birth control technology just as it was becoming publicly discussed and, in many places, fiercely contested.
