a Squib is a person with at least one magical parent but who is themselves non-magical.
I not-super-confidently think this is compatible with canon, but not explicit or even particularly hinted at in canon. My memory is that the squibs we see in canon are Filch and the neighbor, and we don’t know either of their ancestry.

Iirc when they discover filch is a squib Ron explicitly says this is what a squib is (“like muggle born wizards, but in reverse and much rarer”).
Oh, I apparently wasn’t paying attention to the words I quoted. I thought they were saying a squib is born to a muggle and a wizard.
