EDGE 1061contextestablished

kind → kīnde

Present-Day English → Middle English · historical continuation

SOUND
Middle English kinde and related spellings converge on modern kind; the final unstressed vowel is lost and the vowel participates in the later history that yields /aɪ/.
MEANING
The noun retains class, sort, nature, and in-kind senses while the older origin, family, sex, and created-order field recedes or survives in compounds and fixed uses.

kīnde → cynd / gecynd

Middle English → Old English · inheritance

SOUND
Middle English kīnde, cinde, kunde, cunde, and related forms continue Old English cynd / gecynd with dialectal vowel and spelling variation; inherited endings and some prefixal marking recede.
MEANING
Old English nature, origin, generation, condition, and kind meanings expand and reorganize into medieval essential nature, creation, family, class, species, sex, and manner senses.
