Sibling denotes a brother or sister, respectively meaning a male or female who shares at least one parent with the person being referenced. This is usually taken to mean that the two people are genetically very close, though it is not always necessarily the case, i.e. an adoption.

In most societies throughout the world, siblings will usually grow up in the same household. This closeness is marked with the development of strong emotional associations between them (e.g., love, enmity). However, closeness may not always develop in sibling relationships, particularly between those with an age difference of five years or more.

Stepsibling


A stepsibling (stepbrother or stepsister), is a sibling with whom an individual bears no blood relation, and is only related by the marriage of one parent of the individual to one parent of the sibling; see stepfamily.

Half sibling


A half sibling (half brother or half sister) is a sibling with one shared biological parent. Half siblings can have a wide variety of interpersonal relationships, from a bond as close as any full siblings, to total strangers.
