τόκου,

τέτοκα); 
1. birth; 
a. the act of bringing forth. 
b. that which has been brought forth, offspring; (in both senses from 
Homer down). 
2. interest of money, usury (because it multiplies money, and as it were 'breeds' (cf. e. g. Merchant of Venice 1:3)): 
Matthew 25:27; 
Luke 19:23 (so in Greek writings from 
Pindar and 
Aristophanes down; the
