Hmmm I don't speak Latin, but if the word has the same meaning as Italian, "incubare" is more "to hold inside", see incubator.
The Italian must have shifted in meaning then, since the Latin seems to be "lay on or in". English "incubate" comes from this meaning in the sense of (hens) laying on eggs.
