a person's immediate descendants
a person's or animal's direct descendant: a person who is the offspring of two parents
Explanation:
- The gen in progeny, like the gen in genital, comes from a Latin term that means "to bring forth." As a result, progeny is a useful all-purpose term for people, plants, and animals who are the result of sexual reproduction.
- Offspring is a combination of the verb spring and the adverb off, and it is not as literal as progeny. The offspring are really the ones who "jump off" the parent. It has a less formal, friendlier connotation than progeny.
