From great- + grandfather.
great-grandfather (plural great-grandfathers)
- The father of one's grandparent.
2007, Michael Chabon, Gentlemen of the Road, Sceptre, published 2008, page 133:The new bek's great-grandfather had passed every night of his life under the sky, on the back of a pony or in the felt walls of a ger, and Buljan retained the ancestral contempt for cities and city dwellers.
Additional instances of "great-" can be prepended to the term, each indicating one further generation of ancestry. For large numbers of generations a number can be substituted, for example, "fourth great-grandfather", "four-greats grandfather" or "four-times-great-grandfather".
