The term combines 'teenage' (derived from the suffix '-teen' attached to the number ten, emerging in the early 20th century to designate the adolescent demographic) and 'mother' (from Old English 'mōdor', of Germanic origin). The older British slang equivalent 'gymslip-mother' references the traditional school tunic (gymslip) worn by girls, highlighting underage or adolescent pregnancy.
