The word "kindred" refers to a group of people related by blood or family ties. It can also imply a sense of shared characteristics or similarities among individuals, especially in terms of feelings, beliefs, or experiences. When used in a broader sense, "kindred" can describe anyone who feels a strong connection or similarity with another person, creating a feeling of belonging or kinship.
The word "kindred" originates from the Old English word "cynd," which means "family" or "natural." It also has roots in Middle English as "kindred," deriving from the Old Norse term "kendir," meaning "related" or "kin."
