in-law
A phrase appended to names of relationship, as father, mother, brother, sister, son, etc., to indicate that the relationship is not by nature, but in the eye of the Canon Law, with reference to the degrees of affinity within which marriage is prohibited. These forms can be traced back to the 14th cent.: see brother-in-law n. Formerly -in-law was also used to designate those relationships which are now expressed by step-, e.g. son-in-law = stepson n., father-in-law n. = stepfather n.; this, though still locally or vulgarly current, is now generally considered a misuse. In recent colloquial or journalistic phraseology, in-law has been humorously used to designate any relative so connected. Hence in-ˈlawry n. the position of an ‘in-law’. ˈin-lawship n. the state of being an in-law.
