quintipara singular

quintiparae plural

Morphology

quintipara = quinti + para

This is a specialized obstetric term built from classical combining forms meaning 'five' and 'bearing', so the meaning is not transparent to an average learner.

Etymology

Quintipara comes from quinti- ('five') and -para ('to give birth'). So a quintipara is a woman who has given birth in five different pregnancies — think 'five births', like quintuplet for five babies and parent for someone who has children.
