παιδοπόρος

From παῖς (paîs) +‎ πόρος (póros).

παιδοπόρος • (paidopóros) m or f (neuter παιδοπόρον); second declension

1. (hapax) childbearing (lit. 'that through which the child passes')
   • Palatine Anthology 9.311:

     ὠκείαις ἐλάφοισι κύων ἰσάμιλλα δραμοῦσα ἔγκυος ἡλκώθη παιδοπόρον γένεσιν.

     ōkeíais eláphoisi kúōn isámilla dramoûsa énkuos hēlkṓthē paidopóron génesin.

     A bitch, equal in the footrace to swift deer, was wounded in her childbearing organ while pregnant.

The only cited occurence of this word is in combination with γένεσις (génesis), where the whole phrase is given in LSJ (under γένεσις) as 'genitalia muliebria', literally "a woman's genitals". Most (older) lexica resist clearly defining words that they deem to be obscene, and this is such a case.
