granddaughter
UK: ˈɡrænˌdɔːtə | US: ˈɡrænˌdɔtər
n. the daughter of one's son or daughter
The word "granddaughter" combines "grand," derived from Old French grant (meaning "great" or "older generation"), and "daughter," from Old English dohtor (female child). The prefix "grand-" was adopted in Middle English to denote familial relationships spanning two generations (e.g., grandfather, granddaughter). This structure reflects a logical extension of kinship terms, where "grand" emphasizes the generational gap.
