vástago?

Explanation:
Difícil de decir sin más contexto. Si es palabra inglesa, Patricia tiene razón.

"Surgeon" en francés quiere decir "vástago", hablando de una planta, de un árbol. Se puede usar metafóricamente para una persona como sinónimo de "rejeton".
Mi Larousse da como ejemplo: "le dernier rejeton d'une illustre famille" - "el último vástago de una ilustre familia".
