/ˈbɜːθpleɪs//ˈbɜːrθpleɪs/

The word "birthplace" is a compound word, combining "birth" and "place." "Birth" comes from the Old English word "gebyrð," meaning "birth, delivery." It's related to the verb "bear" (to give birth), which has a Germanic root. "Place" comes from the Old French word "place," meaning "place, square." This word derives from the Latin word "platea," meaning "broad, open space," and ultimately from the Greek word "platys," meaning "broad, wide." So, "birthplace" literally means "the place of birth."
