the child
A male child, generally used for a boy or youth—less commonly, a generic term for child regardless of gender. In some contexts, it denotes a son or descendant. Its primary use is to identify one who is young, most often male, and still dependent or under the care of parents. Less often, it denotes children collectively, offspring, or progeny, especially in construct or plural patterns.
