pureblooded
Of single ancestry
Pureblooded describes someone or something descended entirely from a single lineage without mixture from other groups.
The term applies to animals bred within a single breed: a pureblooded Arabian horse.
Applied to humans, it carries connotations of racial ideology and eugenics, particularly associated with Nazi rhetoric and fictional works like Harry Potter, where it marks a supremacist worldview: The villain believed pureblooded wizards were superior.
