grandmother（中文常译为“祖母”或“外祖母”）是一个名词，指一个人的父亲或母亲的母亲。这个词语承载着深厚的家庭纽带与文化内涵，其含义可细分为以下核心层面：
核心亲属关系定义
grandmother 最基础的含义是指直系血亲中的上一代女性长辈，即某人父母的母亲。根据父系或母系的不同，中文可分别称为“祖母”（父系）或“外祖母”（母系），但英文 grandmother 一词本身不做此区分。这反映了人类家庭结构中普遍存在的隔代直系亲属关系。
家庭角色与文化象征
在家庭和社会文化中，grandmother 通常象征着智慧、慈爱、经验传承和情感支持。她们常在家庭中扮演照顾孙辈、讲述家族历史、传递文化传统和价值观的重要角色。这种角色超越了生物学定义，成为维系家族情感与文化连续性的关键人物。
