pregnant

/ˈprɛɡ.nənt/

adjectivepreg · nant

Think: "PREG-nant"—it starts like "preg" (as in "pregnancy") and ends with "nant" (like "tenant" without the 'te').

Yes, it's pregnant. Don’t add an extra syllable—it's spelled **preg-nant** (not *pregna-*), and it ends with **-nant**, not **-nent**.

Definitions

  1. adjectiveHaving a baby or young developing inside the body (expecting a child).
  2. adjectiveFull of meaning or significance; suggestive (e.g., a pregnant pause).

Examples

  • “She found out she was pregnant in early spring.”
  • “The doctor confirmed that the cat is pregnant.”
  • “After his question, there was a pregnant silence in the room.”
