Morphology
philoprogenitive = progenitive (semi-transparent) = philo + progenit + ive
The base 'progenitive' does mean 'producing offspring', but it is a rare/derived adjective and not widely known, so the relation is not fully transparent to average learners.
Etymology
Philoprogenitive comes from Greek philo- 'love' and the root progeny 'children'. So, it literally means 'love of offspring' and is used for people who strongly love their children.
