Best Answer

In Software design, inheritance means a design methodology which includes deriving one class such that it acquires properties of another class. This terminology is modeled after real-life inheritance.

In real life, inheritance refers to the passing of ownership of assets from a deceased person to a living person. For example, your father might have stated in his testament that the family home goes to the eldest son, while the collection of classic cars goes to the youngest son. The house thus is the first-born son's inheritance, the classic car collection the second son's inheritance.
