Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A moiety is one of two major descent groups in a society. Members of a moiety are typically divided into two halves, and individuals belong to one or the other based on their ancestry. A moiety is larger than a lineage, but smaller than a clan. While members of a moiety may feel a strong sense of kinship with one another, this does not necessarily mean that it is stronger than what is felt within a lineage or clan.
