means The children or descendants of a person, animal, or plant — the next generation down the line.
from From Latin progenies, built from pro- ('forth') plus the root of gignere ('to beget'), the same begetting-root that gives us genus, generate, and genes. It passed through Old French progenie before settling into English in the 14th century, carrying the same sense all along: that which is brought forth.
