consanguineous: [kon-sang-gwin-ee-uh s]

adjective: Of the same blood or origin;  descended from the same ancestor.

Such an extravagant word for such a simple meaning, but I love how it rolls off the tongue!

I don't know when I'd get a chance to use this, but it sounds nice rolling off the tongue.
