Morphology
kindred = kind (semi-transparent) = kind + red
Used for groups sharing kinship or characteristics; the formation is analyzable but the kinship sense relies on an older meaning of 'kind'.
Etymology
Kindred comes from the same root as kind, meaning 'type' or 'family', so it can mean a group who are related or who share the same qualities or interests. That's why a group of kindred can be both relatives and people who feel closely connected.
