Etymology
Borrowed from, ultimately from , the same root as the verb (q.v.); cf. also 🇨🇬. This borrowing is first attested in writings in the 1870s, with a broader range of meanings (“family, kin, generation, sex, gender”); the current meaning of “family” stabilized at the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1870s, attempted to correct it to  (which would be the regular development if the word had not been borrowed), but this form never became popular. It replaced the previous borrowing (from 🇨🇬).
