Kith is a noun that refers to one’s friends and acquaintances.
Our word of the day has its origin in an Old English word that means ‘one’s native land.’
The popular phrase ‘kith and kin’ initially referred to one’s country and relatives. More recently it has come to mean ‘one’s friends and family.’
Here’s an example of Kith in use - Don’t get me wrong. I love to see my family during the holidays. But after several days of nothing but kith and kin, I’m usually in the mood to find some strangers to hang out with.
