means A female sibling younger than you, related by birth or family bond.
from A plain compound of two old Germanic-rooted English words. 'Little' descends from Old English 'lytel,' meaning small. 'Sister' has a tangled, ancient pedigree: Old English 'sweostor,' reinforced by Old Norse 'systir,' and ultimately tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European root that also gives Latin 'soror' and Sanskrit 'svasar' — a kinship word so old it predates written history. Pairing 'little' with a relationship to mark age and seniority is a natural English habit, the same instinct behind 'little brother' and 'baby sister.'
