DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
resolvedsupportsestablished
Did kin always mean only blood relatives?
No. Old and Middle English records include kind, race, people, tribe, nation, lineage, generation, progeny, gender, species, category, and family. The modern relatives sense is a semantic narrowing, not the whole ancestral meaning.
Headword CYN, cynn semantic inventoryDocuments the broad Old English kindred, kind, race, people, tribe, family, lineage, generation, and progeny field.

EDGE 1055supportsestablished
kin / kyn / kun → cynn
Middle English → Old English · inheritance
- SOUND
- Middle English kin, kyn, kinne, and related forms continue Old English cynn; y is commonly unrounded toward i and the inherited long consonant ceases to be contrastively represented in the modern monosyllable.
- MEANING
- Old English kindred, race, people, tribe, family, lineage, generation, kind, and gender senses continue unevenly into the medieval kin family.
