Morphology

womankind = woman + kind (transparent) = woman + kind

The meaning is directly derived from the combination of 'woman' and 'kind', indicating a group of women.

Etymology

Womankind comes from woman + kind, where kind means 'group of people', just like in mankind. So Womankind means all women considered together.
