Seed
Definition:

(n.) That from which anything springs; first principle; original; source; as, the seeds of virtue or vice.
(n.) The principle of production.
(n.) Progeny; offspring; children; descendants; as, the seed of Abraham; the seed of David.
(n.) Race; generation; birth.
(v. t.) To sprinkle with seed; to plant seeds in; to sow; as, to seed a field.
