'accouche' originates from French, specifically the word 'accoucher,' where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'coucher' meant 'to lay down.'

'accoucher' transformed into the English word 'accouche' and has retained its meaning related to childbirth.

Initially, it meant 'to lay down for childbirth,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to give birth.'
