1. pedigree

   A pedigree is a recorded ancestral line or lineage of an individual or species, also known as a family tree, often used to track inherited traits or characteristics. In animal breeding, it refers to the recorded lineage of purebred animals, while in human genealogy it represents family history. In a broader context, it can also refer to the background or history of an item or concept that shows its development or legitimacy.
