Answer 1

Caesarian does not mean artificial insemination.

It is a form of childbirth in which a surgical incision is made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would lead to medical complications, although it is increasingly common for otherwise normal births as well.

Answer 2

Do you mean "Caesarean?"

I got this from Wikipedia.

"Many people think of artificial insemination as a modern technology but it has a long history. Thus, apparently artificial insemination was attempted on Juana, wife of King Henry IV of Castile. In 1677 the Dutch scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek saw spermatozoa through the newly invented microscope. More than 100 years later in 1780 an Italian priest and physiologist named Lazzaro Spallanzani performed an experiment in his laboratory that revolutionized the way scientists thought. Until this point scientists had a very primitive understanding of conception largely based on how plants grew. They speculated that the embryo was the "product of male seed, nurtured in the soil of the female." Spallanzani's experiment on dogs proved for the first time that there must be physical contact between the egg and sperm for an embryo to develop. With this new knowledge Spallanzani experimented on frogs, fish, and other animals and was successful."

There are several elements which contribute to a linguistic explanation of the word caesarean.

The term may be simply derived from the Latin verb caedere (supine stem caesum), "to cut." The term caesarean section then would be a tautology.

The caesarean is possibly named after Roman military and political leader Julius Caesar who allegedly was so delivered. Historically, this is unlikely as his mother was alive after he reached adulthood (extremely implausible if such a procedure was performed with the technology of the day ), but the legend is at least as old as the 2nd century AD.

Roman law prescribed that the procedure was to be performed at the end of a pregnancy on a dying woman in order to save the life of the baby. This was called the lex caesarea. Thus the Roman law may be the origin of the term.

Most likely the term is the product of a combination of these. The beginning of the story is certainly the verb caedo: the phrase a matre caesus ("cut out of his mother") was used in Roman times to describe the operation.

The real etymology of the name Caesar (a much older family name) is completely unrelated, but a very early folk etymology invented the story of Julius Caesar's birth by section in order to suggest that his name is derived from this verb. The title of the Roman law must be influenced by this legend, since the form caesareus cannot be derived directly from caesus without some interference of Caesar.

The form of the modern English word caesarean may come either from the law or from the name Caesar, but the modern German Kaiserschnitt (literally: "Emperor's section") obviously comes directly from the legend of Julius Caesar's birth

Good grief! Aren't there any more dictionaries left in bookstores nowadays?! Or is the answer simply that it takes too much effort on your part to reach out for one, even a virtual dictionary? Afterall, there is a spell check provided for your use on this very website!

Let's assume that the atrocity above you call an interrogative sentence actually meant to ask, "From where is the term 'Caesarean (-ian)' derived?" Then the appropriate answer would never be found in hearsay; but rather, in good old fashion research. Which, I suspect, you didn't even bother to do. It just seems that it is the lazy person's way out to simply ask someone who might know instead of seeking a more reliable and documented source.

Nevertheless, here is your answer: According to my old trusty The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English, 6th Ed, edited by J. B. Sykes, the source of 'Caesarean' is the "...delivery of child by cutting the walls of the abdomen (from story that Julius Caesar was so delivered)," having nothing to do with Shakespeare, Cicero or any other personality you might want to conjure up. Alas, poor Shakespeare. He must be spinning like a top in his grave after your entry here!

Abraham Lincoln was attributed to saying, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, rather than open one's mouth and remove all doubt." I suggest you pursue a classical university education.

Answer 5

Wha...?

Ceasarian means artificial delivery. It is a procedure used during childbirth in which an incision is made through the abdomen.

And looking at the correct spelling, you might be able to figure out where it came from. ;)

Answer 6

If you mean Cesarian, this is not artificial insemination, but C-section (birth by opening the skin of the abdomen). Julius Cesar supposedly was born this way, that's why it is called Cesarian.
