Where this word comes from
From bonus (“additional family relationship; step-”) + bestefar (“grandfather”). The formation reflects the positive extended use of bonus (“something additional or beneficial”) in family terms, presenting the person as an additional family member rather than emphasizing the absence of a biological relationship. Compare Danish bonusbedstefar (“step-grandfather, bonus grandfather”), and Swedish bonusmorfar and bonusfarfar (“step-grandfather on the maternal and paternal side, respectively”).
