Relation, properly by consanguinity or blood, but perhaps sometimes used for relation by affinity or marriage. This man is of kin to me.

Relatives; kindred; persons of the same race. --The father, mother and the kin beside.

A relation; a relative.

The same generical class; a thing related. And the ear-deafening voice of th’ oracle, Kin to Jove’s thunder.

As a termination, kin is used as a diminutive, denoting small, from the sense of child; as in manikin, a little man.

Of the same nature; kindred; congenial.
