grandkid
UK: ˈɡrændkɪd | US: ˈɡrændkɪd
n. a child of one's son or daughter; grandchild (informal term).
The word "grandkid" is a colloquial compound of "grand" (from Old French "grant," meaning "large" or "senior") and "kid" (from Old Norse "kið," meaning "young goat," later slang for "child"). The term reflects familial hierarchy, where "grand" denotes a generational step above, and "kid" informally refers to the younger descendant. Its usage emerged in the 19th century as a casual alternative to "grandchild."
