1. (Genetics) a male person having the same parents as another person. 2. short for half-brother, stepbrother. 3. (Industrial Relations & HR Terms) a. a male person belonging to the same group, profession, nationality, trade union, etc, as another or others; fellow member. b. (as modifier): brother workers.
More specifically, for an Indian the general word brother/sister often captures not just the brother/sister but also all the first-cousins of the same generation. And hence, we have the terms real brother or real sister to refer to your brother/sister who is not your cousin-brother/cousin-sister. There are a few of us who even know that using cousin as an adjective in this way is not proper English - but we continue to do so because we feel that this way is better :-)
