The term "in-law" is believed to have emerged in the English language in the early 14th century. It was used to describe relationships formed through marriage rather than by blood, particularly referring to relatives of one's spouse. The concept has roots in various cultures, but the specific term "in-law" became more standardized in English during the Middle Ages.
