How it is used

Form V of و ل د, tawallada extends the root's literal sense of 'giving birth' into a figurative one: something being generated or arising from a cause, whether a physical product coming from a source or an abstract state (like party-spirit) springing up among people. It describes the result of generation rather than the act of bearing offspring itself, which belongs to the form I verb وَلَدَ.
