Well you see when a man loves a women....................................
The illegitimacy explosion of 1750-1850 marked a significant shift in societal norms regarding marriage and sexual behavior, particularly in Europe. This period saw a dramatic increase in the number of children born outside of wedlock, often attributed to urbanization, changing economic conditions, and the decline of traditional social structures. The rise in illegitimacy challenged established family dynamics, leading to increased attention on issues of child welfare and the rights of unwed mothers. Additionally, it prompted legal and social reforms aimed at addressing the implications of single parenthood and the stigma associated with illegitimacy.
I believe it means offspring or child. It also implies illegitimacy. It would depend on the context it's used.
