kinfolk
(once / 39398 pages)
n

Your kinfolk are the people in your family. Even very distant cousins you've never met can be described as your kinfolk.
When anthropologists use the term kinfolk, they mean people who are related by blood and share a common ancestor. You can use the word in a much wider way, though, to include people related by marriage and adoption, as well as friends who are so close you consider them part of your family. Kinfolk combines the Old English roots cynn, or "family," and folc, "people."
