Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Cousinry → The word is formed from "cousin" (from Old French *cousin*, meaning a relative or family member) and the suffix "-ry" (meaning a state or condition). Thus, "cousinry" refers to the state or condition of being cousins or the relationship among cousins.

Memory Tip

Think of 'cousin' as a family member and '-ry' indicating a state or condition, so 'cousinry' means the state of being related as cousins.
