agnatic

agnatic
Adjective

This term is primarily used in legal, anthropological, and historical contexts to describe kinship systems where inheritance and lineage are traced exclusively through the father's side. It carries a technical, formal register and is rarely encountered in casual conversation, appearing instead in academic discussions of genealogy or the study of ancient succession laws.

In contrast to cognatic kinship, which recognizes both maternal and paternal lines, agnatic kinship is strictly patrilineal. It is frequently paired with the term agnatic primogeniture, referring to a system where the eldest male heir inherits the title or estate to the exclusion of all females.
