- SOUND
- The second element of cyn-ræden is the suffixal or affixoid use of Old English ræden; this component edge is morphological analysis, not a claim that the whole compound changed into the suffix.
- MEANING
- A condition related to kin yields kinship and, through collective interpretation, family or related people.

- SOUND
- Middle English -rede / -reden reduces Old English -ræden, including loss and variation of the final weak syllable and regular orthographic simplification.
- MEANING
- The older condition, status, estimation, or rule element survives as a narrowing and increasingly fossilized condition-forming suffix.

STEP 04inheritanceestablished
- SOUND
- Middle English kinrede continues late Old English cynræden / cynrēde through normal replacement of Old English c and y spellings, reduction of the second element, and loss of inherited inflection; the d-bearing variant is later.
- MEANING
- Old English kinship and kin-conditioned state develops the medieval family, lineage, blood-relations, nation, and collective-relatives field.

- SOUND
- The second element of hate-rede is Middle English -rede / -reden; this is morphological decomposition, not whole-word sound change.
- MEANING
- The condition or state suffix turns hate into the state or condition of hate.

STEP 05historical continuationestablished
- SOUND
- Middle English kinrede loses the final weak syllable inherited from -ræden, while an intrusive d develops between n and r and becomes fixed in kindred. The edge preserves kindrede as a medieval variant without treating kind as a component.
- MEANING
- The family, lineage, blood-relation, and kinship noun continues; attributive use produces the adjective for shared ancestry and later for related origin, nature, or character.
Elizabeth Closs Traugott · Merriam-Webster Editors · American Heritage Dictionary Editors3 CITATIONSEDGE 1072 ↗ STEP 05historical continuationestablished
- SOUND
- Middle English hatrede / hatreden loses the final suffixal syllable while the reduced -red spelling and /rɪd/ pronunciation become fixed in modern English.
- MEANING
- The medieval state or condition of hate continues as intense animosity, hostility, or extreme dislike; countable hatreds later names particular hostilities.
