Pedigree- Noun
Definition- The origin or history of something or someone usually when it’s good or impressive.
Where I found this definition: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pedigree
I discovered this word during my many visits to the pet store and the costco warehouse.
I understand this word by thinking of dogs and the way they are classified. The dog is pedigree and is not a mixed breed.
Pedigree is certainly used to explain an animal’s breed, and how pure it is. What does it mean when referring to people? What would it mean to say that a person has a certain pedigree?
