Aunt

An aunt is a person who is the sister or sister-in-law of a parent.

A great-aunt (sometimes written as grandaunt) is the sister or sister-in-law of a grandparent.

The male equivalent of an aunt is an uncle, and the reciprocal relationship is that of a nephew or niece.

"Aunt" (or "auntie") may also be an honorific bestowed upon an individual of fictive kinship.

Also, the word "Aunt" could also be an abbreviation for the conjunction of "am not".
