What is another word for child born without benefit clergy?
Pronunciation: [t͡ʃˈa͡ɪld bˈɔːn wɪðˌa͡ʊt bˈɛnɪfˌɪt klˈɜːd͡ʒi] (IPA) 
A "child born without benefit clergy" is a historical term that refers to a child who was not baptized by a member of the clergy, often out of necessity or due to social or cultural barriers. Such a child may also be described as an unbaptized infant, an unchristened baby, or a non-baptized newborn. The term "illegitimate child" was also commonly used in the past to refer to children born out of wedlock, but this term is now considered outdated and stigmatizing. Today, it is important to recognize and respect the dignity and worth of all children, regardless of their status at birth.
