What does GODSON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A boy or man for whom a person has agreed to take responsibility as a sponsor at his baptism or christening.
A godson's godparent traditionally promises to support the child's religious upbringing and to serve as a moral guide throughout his life, a role formalized at the baptism ceremony in Christian tradition. The relationship between godparent and godson often continues well into adulthood, marked by birthday gifts, visits, and a sense of family closeness even without blood ties. The female counterpart is called a goddaughter, and both terms are chiefly used in cultures and communities where godparenthood remains an active social and religious custom.
