The origin of this word from Latin, I take it, means seed, and certainly has spawned many words in English and I venture to guess many other languages.

Most definitely a very Good Word. One linked to many others, one of which has been dissected by the Good Dr.

As this one is the seminal one, though, I agree it deserves its own treatment.

So seminal is seminal to the words it has spawned. That might be getting a little racy for an open forum like this.
