kina person having kinship with another or others

Some say kin, others "family," or "relatives." Call them what you will, but you’re stuck with those people related to you by blood or marriage.

When someone refers to their kith and kin, she means her friends and family. Both words date back to Old English, kin reaching back to the 700s. Originally referring to one’s family or race, kin narrowed to refer just to one’s blood relations. Your "next of kin" is your closest family member: spouse, child, parent, or sibling.

All forms of 'kin' will appear on average once every 376 pages.
