Adjective derived from "descendant"?
"Ancestral" means "of or pertaining to an ancestor or ancestors". Is there an adjective which means "of or pertaining to a descendant or descendants"?
"Filial" isn't quite the right word, as it suggests only a single generation's remove.
Descendent (adj.) is the term you are looking for:
- Proceeding by descent from an ancestor.(AHD)
- (Anthropology & Ethnology) deriving by descent, as from an ancestor. (Collins)
From Doing Business in Europe:
a relative in the ascendent or the descendent line of such a person; person who is related by marriage to such a person in the ascendent or the descendent line...
The variant descendant is also used.
