KIND (O. E. ge-cynde, from the same See also:root as is seen in " See also:kin," supra)  , a word in origin meaning See also:birth, nature, or as an See also:adjective, natural . From the application of the See also:term to the natural disposition or characteristic which marks the class to which an See also:object belongs, the See also:general and most See also:common meaning of " class," genus or See also:species easily develops; that of See also:race, natural See also:order or See also:group, is particularly seen in such expressions as " mankind." The phrase " See also:payment in See also:kind," i.e. in goods or produce as distinguished from See also:money, is used as See also:equivalent to the Latin in specie; in ecclesiastical usage " communion in both kinds " or " in one kind " refers to the elements of See also:bread and See also:wine (See also:Lat. species) in the See also:Eucharist .
