transgenerational
Spanning multiple lineages
Transgenerational describes something that spans or passes across generations.
The term appears most often in psychology and genetics: transgenerational trauma refers to psychological effects transmitted from parents or grandparents to descendants, while transgenerational inheritance describes traits passed down through generations.
The study examined transgenerational patterns of poverty.
