Definition of the Concept: 'Family' is intended here in the narrower sense, the immediate family (even so, not precisely defined), though many of the words listed here are also used, like NE familiy, to cover remoter kindship, 'family' in the wide sense... Many of the words are those for 'house' or derivatives of them. Lat. familia, orig. 'body of servants, household', furnished the most widespread European world (Buck).
