incest

English

Etymology

From Latin incestus.

Pronunciation

• IPA: /ˈɪnsɛst/
• Rhymes: -ɪnsɛst

Noun

incest (uncountable)

1. Sexual relations between close relatives, usually considered taboo; in many jurisdictions, close relatives are not allowed to marry, and incest is a crime.

   Genetic problems caused by incest are thought to have plagued many royal families in the Middle Ages.

   • 2005, George R. R. Martin, A Feast for Crows: A Song of Ice and Fire, page 225:

     He was only Craster's whelp, an abomination born of incest, not the son of the King-beyond-the-Wall.
