purebloods
No mixed ancestry
Purebloods are those whose ancestry is entirely of one group, without mixture from outsiders.
The term appears in contexts ranging from animal breeding to fictional worlds where magical lineage determines status.
In real-world usage, it often carries sinister overtones of racial ideology: The regime's obsession with purebloods led to genocide.
Harry Potter popularized the term for wizards with no Muggle ancestry.
