ell, the adjective “only” actually applies to begotten, the verse is not saying only son, rather the only is used as an adjective to describe the uniqueness of begetting. Yes, there are other sons, but only the second person was begotten uniquely that he is the first and last in this kind of begetting.

Now, when we say beget, the usage of this term is not limited to human reproduction. In concordance, this term is transliterated to gennao which is defined as to beget or to bring forth. Notice that the definition is not elaborated, hence the application can be used in another type of bringing forth aside from reproduction.

For instance, when you speak words, in a sense you bring forth your words from your mind. This bringing forth of your words coming from your mind, in a biblical sense, can qualify as begeting.

But how is the begetting of the second person the unique one? Well, simply because He was the only begotten that did not go through a medium to be brought forth. All other people that comes after the second person were brought forth through a medium who is the son as read in Col 1:16.
