kindredn.adj.Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: kin n.1, -red suffix. Etymology: Probably < kin n.1 + -red suffix. Medial -d- in the modern word may result from the influence of kind n. or may show a phonetic development (see note).Old English evidence. The earliest attested forms appear to show unexpectedly early phonological reduction of the second element for a regular Old English derivative with -rǣden -red suffix. It has been suggested that the form cynred at β. forms may perhaps be an alteration of (or an error for) Old English cynren , cynryn family line, kindred, progeny, generation, race, species, kind (cognate with or formed similarly to late Old High German kunniruns nature, natural course of events (in an isolated attestation) < the Germanic base of kin n.1 + the Germanic base of rune n.1). With the second element perhaps compare also rede n.1, with which -red suffix is ultimately related. It is also uncertain whether the Old English dative or accusative singular form kynrædan should be regarded as an early α. form with loss of the inflectional ending (assuming the word is a strong feminine like other derivatives in -red suffix) or, alternatively, as an early β. form with unexpected weak inflectional ending. Notes on forms. With the α. forms compare α. forms at -red suffix. With the forms kynredynge and kynderyng at α. forms compare δ. forms at -red suffix; the latter occurs as a manuscript variant of the former and probably represents an error for it. With the β. forms compare β. forms at -red suffix. Forms in -rod , -rode may reflect the influence of formations in -hood suffix; compare kinhood n. beside kinhead n. The γ. forms in kind- , kynd- are attested from the early Middle English period (compare quot. a1325 at sense A. 3b), and have been variously explained as showing a parallel formation from the related kind n. or as an alteration by association with that word; however, they may partly reflect development of epenthetic d between n and r (compare from a similar date e.g. β. forms at thunder n.), subsequently reinforced by association with kind n. The δ. forms reflect a Scots variant of the α. forms with metathesis of n : see γ. forms at -red suffix and discussion at that entry. Notes on senses. Earlier currency in sense A. 3a is probably implied by the following example of Old English prefixed forecynrǣd translating classical Latin prōgeniēs progeny n. (compare fore- prefix and quot. lOE at sense A. 3a):eOE Royal Psalter xlviii. 20 Introibit usque in progeniem patrum suorum et usque in aeternum non uidebit lumen : he ingæð oþ on forecynred [lOE Canterbury Psalter forekinred] fædera his & on ecnisse na gesihð leoht.
