stepdaughter
Partner's biological offspring
A stepdaughter is the daughter of one's spouse from a previous relationship.
The prefix step- indicates a family connection through marriage rather than biology: My stepdaughter and I have grown close over the years.
The relationship begins when a parent remarries or partners with someone who has a daughter.
