The term step parent originated from when a person would step in to help after an original parent died. It was most often used for stepmothers but soon after stepfather became just as common.
The term "stepmom" originates from the combination of "step," derived from the Old English word "stæppa," meaning "to step or go," and "mom," a colloquial term for mother. The use of "step" in familial terms dates back to the Middle Ages, referring to a person in a relationship with a spouse of one's biological parent. Over time, "stepmom" became a common informal way to refer to a stepmother, emphasizing the blended family dynamic.
