generatio = childbirth or also education/raising of children?

Question

Generatio means "a begetting", but does that include the whole process of conceiving, bearing, birthing, and educating the child?

Answer 1

St. Thomas Aquinas says "generatio et educatio". The fact he uses the exclusive conjunction et and not the inclusive conjunction ac/atque shows that he considers generatio not to be synonymous with educatio. Thus, generatio is the process of procreating a child, and educatio is the process of raising the born child.
