Scion
Defunct Toyota marque
A scion is a descendant or heir, especially of a wealthy or prominent family: a scion of the Kennedy dynasty, the dissolute scion of a banking fortune.
The word carries connotations of inherited privilege and expectation.
In horticulture, a scion is a shoot or twig cut from one plant to graft onto another—the original meaning from which the "heir" sense grew.
