Orphan - online puzzles

An orphan (from the Greek: ορφανός orphanós) is someone whose parents have died, unknown, or have permanently abandoned them.

In common usage, only a child who has lost both parents due to death is called an orphan. When referring to animals, only the mother 's condition is usually relevant (i.e. if the female parent has gone, the offspring is an orphan, regardless of the father 's condition).
