means The fluid carrying sperm, released during ejaculation, whose entire biological job is reproduction.
from Straight from Latin semen, meaning 'seed' — the same root that gives us 'seminar' (a seedbed of ideas) and 'disseminate' (to scatter seed widely). Latin semen itself traces back to the verb serere, 'to sow,' putting this word in the same ancient field as agriculture — the body's reproductive fluid named, quite literally, after planting crops.
