step-grandchild
Remarriage's young descendant
A step-grandchild is the grandchild of one's spouse from a previous relationship—the child of a stepchild.
The relationship forms through marriage rather than blood: My wife's daughter just had a baby, so now I have a step-grandchild.
The term reflects the extended family structures created by remarriage across generations.
