A quick definition of agnate:

Agnate: A word used to describe someone who is related to you through your father or your father's family. It can also refer to a family member on your father's side, even if they are not directly related through the male line. This is different from "cognate," which refers to relatives who are related through both the mother and father's side of the family.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Related or connected through male descent or on the father's side.

Examples:

My agnate cousin and I share the same grandfather on our father's side.
According to the family tree, the agnate line can be traced back to our great-great-grandfather.

The term "agnate" refers to a blood relative who is connected through the male line or on the father's side. The examples illustrate this by showing how the relationship between two relatives is traced back to their shared grandfather or great-great-grandfather on their father's side. This term is often used in genealogy and family history research to describe the male lineage of a family.
