Curious to know the meaning of the term "base child"? (General)

Though I've not seen this used in relation to my own family, I have noticed that some records refer to a child as a "base child". Does this mean the child was illegitimate or does it mean they might have been mentally incapacitated? I've looked at the index to my copy of the Poor Law Report (1834) but it's not listed and might be a local euphemism applied by officials.
