A quick definition of nephew:

A nephew is a boy who is the son of your brother or sister. It can also mean the son of your brother-in-law or sister-in-law. Sometimes, it can even include your grandnephew in some wills. If your half brother or half sister has a son, he is also your half nephew. In the past, it was also used to mean a grandchild or any descendant. Nephews are known to be present and attentive to their uncles, especially if they are important to them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The son of a person's brother or sister. It can also include the son of a person's brother-in-law or sister-in-law. In some wills, it can also refer to a grandnephew. A half nephew is the son of one's half brother or half sister. Historically, it could also refer to a grandchild or any descendant.

  • My nephew is coming to visit me this weekend. He is my sister's son.
  • My uncle passed away and left his estate to his nephews and nieces.
  • She treats her nephew like her own son.

The first example illustrates the basic definition of nephew as the son of one's sibling. The second example shows how the term can be used in legal contexts, such as in a will. The third example demonstrates how a person can have a close relationship with their nephew, treating them like their own child.
