pure-blooded
Of single ancestry
Pure-blooded describes someone or something whose ancestry comes entirely from one group, with no mixing from outside.
The term appears most often with animals, especially horses and dogs, where lineage is carefully tracked: a pure-blooded Arabian stallion.
Applied to humans, pure-blooded carries connotations of racial ideology and exclusion—the notion that bloodlines can or should be kept unmixed.
Also pure-blood and pureblooded.
