The word "daughter" refers to a female offspring of a person or animal. It is commonly used to describe the relationship between a parent and their female child. Daughters can represent various roles in a family, such as being a sister, a friend, or a caretaker.
The word "daughter" comes from the Old English term "dohtor," which is related to similar words in Germanic languages, such as the Old High German "tochta" and the Old Norse "dóttir."
