The plural of granddaughter; the daughters of your children, or female grandchildren.
Compound word from 'grand' (from Old French 'grant,' meaning 'great' or 'large') and 'daughter' (from Old English 'dohtor'). The word 'grand' was added to 'daughter' to specify the generation gap — a granddaughter is one generation further removed than a regular daughter.
Family trees get complicated fast — your granddaughter is your grandchild, but she's also someone's daughter and potentially someone's great-granddaughter! The prefix 'grand-' adds a generation layer that helps us navigate multi-generational families.
