NOTA BENE
Read the following History reference about the origin of the word “family”, compare it with your ideas.
The word “family” comes from Latin famulus, a word of unknown origin, meant ‘servant’ or "slaves of the household". The word for an individual slave was famulus for a male, famula for a female. From this word the term familia was derived, a collective term for all the domestic servants of a household. Gradually, however, the English word broadened out to “whole household”, and then in the mid17th century narrowed down again to the current main sense “group of related people”
