Word origin
The word 'scion' originated from Middle English, borrowed from Old French 'cion' meaning 'descendant, offshoot'. It has been used since the 14th century to refer to both descendants of a family and young shoots of plants. Over time, it has evolved to represent the concept of continuation and growth in various contexts.
