Entenado

Entenado

A colloquial term for a stepchild. It refers to the son or daughter your current partner had from a previous relationship who is now part of your family. (In Mexico, this term is frequently used in everyday conversation instead of the more formal word hijastro).

My wife already had an entenado when we started dating, but we get along great and I love him like he is my own.
