Definition
The relationship between relatives connected through blood kinship, especially through the maternal line.
Etymology
From Latin cognatio, derived from cognatus (related by birth), formed from cum- (together) and gnatus (born). This noun form entered English in the 14th century to describe family relationships recognized under law.
Kelly Says
Cognation was crucial in medieval inheritance law—knowing whether you were related through your mother's or father's side could determine whether you inherited anything at all!
