Definition of kinsman

A kinsman is a relative who is connected to another person by blood or affinity.

  • Blood relative: A person who shares an ancestor with another.
  • Collateral relative: A relative who is not in the direct line of descent, such as a cousin.
  • Relative by affinity: A person who is related not by marriage or by blood or by adoption, but solely as the result of a marriage.
  • Relative of the half blood: A collateral relative who shares one common ancestor.

John's uncle is his kinsman because they are related by blood. Sarah's cousin is her kinsman because they are collateral relatives. Tom's mother-in-law is his kinsman by affinity because they are related through marriage. Mary's half-sister is her kinsman of the half blood because they share one common ancestor.

These examples illustrate how a kinsman can be related to another person in different ways, such as through blood, marriage, or adoption.
