What is the definition of bastard?

Answer 1

Many seem to think that the word "bastard" is a swear word. However, after quite some research, the word or term bastard is also known as being a child that was born out of wedlock. The word can also be used when referring to someone who is mean. The term is very unpleasant to use towards people.

Answer 2

It is a term given to a child born of unmarried people. It is also a curse term used offensively to refer to someone you don't like.

In societies where parentage is of legal importance, a bastard is a child born out of wedlock, and therefore not eligible to inherit. In modern, Western society, that meaning is obsolete. Instead, it is used of anything that has mixed or dubious origins, as a bastard file or bastard round handwriting, or that appears to belong to a species but does not, as a bastard toadflax. Informally, bastard is either a crude insult or a term of sympathy for a man in distress, as in "The poor bastard took a real beating."

Answer 3

It is a male child born to unwed parents. It is also used as a swear word to insult another person.
