Filiation
1. The fact or condition of being a son or daughter; relationship of a child to a parent. "In English we have no word that will serve to express with propriety the person who bears the relation opposed to that of parent. The word child is ambiguous, being employed in another sense, perhaps more frequently than in this: more frequently in opposition to a person of full age, an adult, than in correlation to a parent. For the condition itself we have no other word than filiation: an ill-contrived term, not analogous to paternity and maternity: the proper term would have been filiality: the word filiation is as frequently, perhaps, and more consistently, put for the act of establishing a person in the possession of the condition of filiality." Jeremy Bentham, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation 276 2-2. Judicial determination of paternity. See PATERNITY SUIT.
