from the egg, by incubation or other process, natural or artificial. The word is also used as a substantive of a brood of chickens brought out from the eggs. " Hatchery " is particularly applied to a place for the hatching of fish spawn, where the natural process is aided by artificial means. In a figurative sense " to hatch " is often used of the development or contrivance of a plot or conspiracy.
