Barn is from Old English bereærn literally "barley house," bere "barley"+ aern "house" (Old Norse barr "barley" is cognate with Latin far [genitive farris]) "coarse grain; meal," from PIE root *bhars- "bristle, point, projection".

Bairn is a child of any age. From Old English bearn "child, son, descendant," probably related to bear(v.) from Old English beran "to bear, bring, produce; endure, sustain, wear, from Proto-Germanic *beran-, from PIE *bher-(1) "give birth" and "carry a burden, bring." Maybe we call a child a "bairn" like as if we were to say the baby is the "born" instead of what we say "newborn," i.e., the new-bairn.
Bear (n.) the animal is from Old English bera, from Proto-Germanic *beron, literally "the brown one," from PIE*bher- (2) "bright, shining, brown".
European Bown Bear
This root survives in English in the word burnish "to make smooth or glossy; polish".
Perhaps bear is "brown" with the sense of brown being a warm electric color like the different shades of amber, the bright shining stone, called elektron in ancient Greek.
And a bear is also "brown" being the brown color of broth and what is brewed like beer made from barley (bere / barr). Brew is from Old English breowan "to brew," from PIE *bhreue- "to bubble, boil, effervesce (cognates: Sanskrit bhurnih "violent, passionate," Latin fevere "to boil, foam").
Many people have bhurnih (passionate) desire for their beer and like it fevere (foaming) on the head.
Bears may look both bristly (*bhars-, like barley) and grizzly gray, amber or brown and they bear young.
Bears are not barren, but things that are seared "dried up, withered, barren" may be sorrel "reddish-brown," like amber. And in no way are bears bare, from Old English bær "naked, uncovered, unclothed." However, what is barren, from Old French baraigne/baraing "sterile, barren" we might say is bare, like a wasteland. Barren places like the desert mainly deal in shades of amber and brown. Those dry places appear to be less fruitful than the wetter places. So there would be an association with brown and barrenness.

Barren places are also often warm places and may have a baked appearance. Bake is from root *bhe- "to warm".

Many times words for baby animals are transferred by use to human children. For example, in English starting at the end of the 16th century kid meaning "the young of a goat" began to be used as a word for child. It is also interesting that in Hebrew one word for sheep, lamb, flock (goats and sheep, lamb) is son / tsone צאן. This is similar in sound to the English word "son." Perhaps the origin of tson is related in concept to the PIE root of son, i.e., *seue-(1) "to give birth"[the son is the one birthed]. Therefore the son of God would be the tsone "lamb" of God.
Lamb is from Protp-Germanic *lambaz, also the source of Old Norse, Old Friscan, Gothic lamb, Dutch lam, Middle High German lamp, German Lamm.

This *dhe(i)- "to suck" is also the root of words like fecund (the thing sucked[of its energy] that "produces and yields"), female ("one who suckles," but also the "one who is sucked" of energy and matter during the gestation and pregnancy, not just after birth when the baby suckles milk), and felicity (the happiness that comes from benefiting from things that have such abundance of energy that they make fruitfulness and fertility possible). This example of felicity being related to the same root as fetus is similar in concept to the origin of udder "milk gland of a cow, goat, etc.," being the same root as the Latin uber "udder, breast," and sharing the same root with exuberance "over abundant" (ex + uberare "be fruitful," related to uber "udder")
Dolphin Fetus in Delphys
Dolphin is from Old French dauphin, Latin delphinus, from Greek delphis, related to delphys "womb".
Womb itself comes from Old English wamb "belly, bowels, heart, uterus", from Proto-Germanic *wambo "belly, paunch".
A dolphin is a womb animal. Therefore calling a dolphin after "womb" is maybe like naming mammals after mammary glands. Mammal is from Latin mammal, from mammalis "of the breast", and mamma "breast"(cognate with mamma "mother").
Nursing Child, by women-health-info.com
Mammals are womb animals, but only the women contain a womb and are womb-men, right? i.e., the adams (men / humans) with a womb, and are the ones with the working mammas (breasts). However, both men / males and women / females are born from a womb and are suckled from the breast. In that way both are mammals. So, perhaps we might have been called delphins / dolphins after the delphy"womb," rather than mammals after mammary glands(and so some have been, e.g., the Dauphin de France).
The child of a mammal born from a womb suckles. In Latin felare is "to suck", and filia "daughter" and filius "son" is from *felios "a suckling". Whereas in English son has the connotation of the one "born"(*seue-) from the parent, rather than being a suckling.
Furthermore, I would venture to say that daughter (dustr in Armenian) could be related to the origin as dust from PIE *dheu- (1) "dust, smoke, vapor" and dew *dheu- (2)"to flow." A daughter is the child who becomes a mater, Latin for "mother," and from that mater (mother) an adam (human) is given the matter of their body from the adamah (Hebrew for "ground, earth, dust") which makes us mortal or changing / flowing " *dheu-," or tau ("dew" in German). A tau (τ) which was derived from the phonecian taw (χ) is a cross; and "the cross of matter" is both bitter and beloved (like the name Mary. She who is the mater [mother] of God). Being born into flesh (nailed to the tree / tau / cross / zodiac) brings the knowledge of the beautiful (good) and adverse (evil).

The Greek city of Delphi was originally called Pytho Πυθώ, by certain accounts, after the great serpent, Python, son of Gaia, who protected the navel of the earth and was slain by Apollo. Pythia was the title of the Delphic oracle.
Priestess of Delphi, John Collier, 1891
Pythoness is a "woman with power of soothsaying" from Old French phitonise, from Latin pythonissa. In the Vulgate the Witch of Endor, whom Saul consults to summon the ghost of Samuel is described as," mulierem habentem pythonem" 1 Samuel 28:7.
Delphi was were the omphelos, "navel" in Greek, of Gaia (Mother Earth) was located, thus the center "hub" of the world and delphys "womb".
We might say that navels are ventral meaning "of or pertaining to the belly, stomach, abdomen," from Latin venter / ventris "belly, paunch; stomach, appetite; womb, unborn child". The belly is a pretty squishy watery part of the body, you can hear liquids sloshing around in the stomach after drinking, and of course the child in the womb is surrounded by "water", i.e. amniotic fluid.
In Swedish vinter is "winter" said to be maybe from *wed- "water, wet." The womb is a wet place and it is also a place of winter for the child, not cold winter, but dark. The womb is the place of darkness right before the springing forth of the new life. The womb is a kind of den of hibernation, from Latin hibernus "of winter," and a perfect incubator for a tiny developing man-cub. However, once they are raised sufficiently and start acting like kids do, we all know were they belong… in the barn.

Brood comes etymologically from idea of "that which is hatched by heat," from *bro- "to warm, heat," from PIE *bhre- "burn, heat, incubate, from root *bhreue- "boil, bubble, effervesce"(the same base root as brew)
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often I would have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is desolate [eremos, like barren]. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." Mt 23:37-39

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need for of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God is its light, and the lamp is the Lamb. Revelation 21:22-23In Greek luchnos / lychnos λύχνος is lamp. Maybe that light of the Lamb in Revelation is like an electric (from Modern Latin electricus "resembling [electrum] amber") lamp. So it doesn't matter if sun or moon are shining . . . much like today. In fact there is so much light at night now, because of electricity, that people call it light pollution.
Child is from Old English cild (pronounced as is children) "fetus, infant, unborn baby, newly born," from Proto-Getmanic *kiltham "womb," (source of Gothic kilþei "womb," inkilþo "pregnant," Old English cildhama "womb," literally "child home." This original sense of "child" is retained in how we say a woman is "with child," meaning she is pregnant, when we don't normally specifically refer to babies in the womb as children. For example, we don't say, "When is the child due?" we say, "When is the baby due?"
Kind is "child" in German. A child is a "kind"(of the same sort) of the parent or kin to the parents. Kin is from Old English cynn "family; race; kind, sort, rank; nature; gender, sex." From Proto-Germanic *kunja- (source of Old High German chunni "kin; race, German Kind "child"), from PIE *gene- "to produce, give birth, beget"(as in genus/genera). One evidenced source of *gene- being Old English cennan "beget, create." The kind "child" is the one begat. This may remind us of Cain / Qayin the son of Adam and Eve, and the Hebrew origin of his name, qaneh "get, acquire".
A human child (one begat) is called an embryo until about eight weeks gestation. Embryo is from Greek embruon / embryon "a young one," first used of animals, then humans. Literally meaning "growing in," from en "in"+ bruo/bryo "swell, be full." As little ones are want to do in their mother's wombs.
After the embryonic stage the child is called a fetus. Fetus is "the young while in the womb or shell," it is from Latin fetus, which according to the OE has the meaning "the bearing or hatching of young, a bringing forth, pregnancy, childbearing, offspring," but fetus also had extended meanings having to do with the fruit of plants and other growths of plants such as shoots or suckers. Fetus is said to be from the PIE root *dhe(i)- meaning "to suck." But this meaning of "suck" still has to do with things that bear, in that, the thing that is bearing offspring or fruit is the thing that was sucked from. What is sucked is energy and matter, being taken from one thing and given to another new thing.

For it was the daughter, Eve, who brought about the fall (change) which is called "happy", i.e., Felix [happy in a "fruitful" way] culpa. So we could say the daughter is the *dheu- ter, that is "the bringer of flow / change.
Nurse is from Latin nutricius "that suckles, nourishes," from nutria / nutricis "wet-nurse", nutrire "to feed, nurse, suckle, foster, support, preserve".
Nut / Nuit, the ancient Egyptian sky goddess (originally of the nighttime or nuit-time sky) was the primordial "nurse" or nurturer of ancient Egypt. She was a mamma goddess of death and rebirth who swallowed the heavenly bodies each night and gave birth to them, or "raised" them, every morning from her womb, the eastern horiz(e)on. Sometimes she was portrayed as a nude woman covered with stars arching over the sky (night sky) and was said to touch the cardinal points of the earth with her fingers and toes (the world tree). She was also portrayed as the sycamore tree, nht or nehet in ancient Egyptian. She was the Nut tree.

She sets thee within her womb wherein she conceives. -from the tomb of Kenamun
