Etymology of IMBREED

The word "imbreed" is likely a misspelling or variant spelling of "inbreed" or "interbreed".

The term "inbreed" can be traced back to the Old English word "inbregdan", which means "to bring in". Over time, it evolved to "inbreed" and referred to the breeding or mating of closely related individuals within the same family or group, typically within the same species.

The prefix "in-" in Old English indicates "into" or "in", while "breed" comes from the Old English word "bredan", meaning "to bring up" or "to produce". So, "inbreed" essentially means to "bring in" or "produce offspring" within a closely related group.

However, it is worth mentioning that the term "imbreed" is not commonly used or recognized in standard English.
