The Word "Kith" Hi, all It’s odd that I’ve seen such a word in the comments of a recent published book named The Private Lives of the Impressionists by Sue Roe. It is a biographical book about and the lives of the artists and the French history around the second half of 19th century. The sentence in a review in Guardian goes like this, " The great strength of Roe's book is the way that it manages to synthesisse the wealth of published biographical and scholarly work on half a dozen artists into a coherent narrative of kith and kinship'. It sounds uncommon using the word kith here. But I suppose the author intenden to make the end of the sentence rhymed.Otherwise I think he can have other substitutions. What's your opinion? Greetings, KimmyOops, *synthesise *intendedThanks a lot, Ghadeer!

"Kith and kin" as a whole means one's acquaintances and relatives. Kindly view the link below: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/kith+and+kin

Actually, you can't replace "kith". This is one of the set "pairs" in English, and there are many: peace and quiet, calm and collected, sick and tired, hither and yon, goods and chattels, vim and vigor, p*ss and vinegar... You just have to accept them and learn them.
