Etymology

The word 'grandson' comes from the combination of 'grand-', meaning 'large' or 'great,' and 'son,' which is derived from the Old English 'sunu.' In its original form, 'grand' indicated a generation removed from the parents, symbolizing the lineage or extended family structure. The term has been used since the late Middle Ages to refer to the relationship between a son and his grandparents. Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word '*sunuz,' which also meant 'son.' Over time, the term has evolved but maintained its essential meaning within familial structures across various cultures and languages.
