half aunt
Partial parental sibling
A half aunt is the half sister of one's parent—sharing one grandparent rather than two.
The relationship arises when a grandparent had children with different partners: My half aunt is my dad's half sister from my grandfather's first marriage.
The term clarifies degree of biological relatedness in blended family trees.
