The term "step" in "stepmother" refers to a relationship that is formed through marriage rather than biological descent. A stepmother is a woman who is married to someone's parent after the person's biological mother has either passed away or the parents have divorced. This indicates a familial connection created through the act of marrying into the family rather than through birth.
