Definition
Noun: * Parents, guardians: Refers to a person or people who have the primary responsibility for raising and educating a child, typically the father and mother. It is a formal and respectful term, often used in educational or official contexts. The word is a Sino-Vietnamese compound from "phụ" (father) and "huynh" (elder brother), historically implying the male head of the family, but its modern usage is gender-neutral and equivalent to "parents."
