A hybrid kernel is a marketing term for a monolithic kernel, typically applied to monolithic kernels which feature modular or layered designs (such as Mac OS X (XNU) or Windows NT), or which are internally structured in ways reminiscent of microkernel-based systems (such as DragonFly BSD, which makes extensive use of message-passing).
