grand-parent
Parent's mother/father
A grandparent is the parent of one's parent—a grandmother or grandfather.
The hyphenated spelling is uncommon; grandparent is standard.
Grandparents often occupy a special role in family life, providing care, wisdom, or indulgence that differs from parental authority: My grandparents spoiled me rotten.
