The prefix 'Stief-' (step-) is placed before a family member to indicate a relationship by marriage, not by blood. 'Stieftochter' (stepdaughter) is therefore the daughter of one's spouse.
Seit der Hochzeit seiner Mutter ist er ihr Stiefvater.
Since his mother's wedding, he has been her stepfather.
The prefix 'Stief-' (step-) is very productive. If you know 'Stieftochter' (stepdaughter), you can easily understand and form other relatives such as 'Stiefsohn' (stepson), 'Stiefmutter' (stepmother), 'Stiefvater' (stepfather), or 'Stiefbruder' (stepbrother).
Er hat zwei leibliche Kinder und einen Stiefsohn.
He has two biological children and one stepson.
