From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Family \Fam"i*ly\, n.; pl. {Families}. [L. familia, fr. famulus
      servant; akin to Oscan famel servant, cf. faamat he dwells,
      Skr. dh[be]man house, fr. dh[be]to set, make, do: cf. F.
      famille. Cf. {Do}, v. t., {Doom}, {Fact}, {Feat}.]

            under one head or manager; a household, including parents,
            children, and servants, and, as the case may be, lodgers
            or boarders.
  
      2. The group comprising a husband and wife and their
            dependent children, constituting a fundamental unit in the
            organization of society.
  
                     The welfare of the family underlies the welfare of
                     society.                                             --H. Spencer.
  
      3. Those who descend from one common progenitor; a tribe,
            clan, or race; kindred; house; as, the human family; the
            family of Abraham; the father of a family.

      7. (Biol.) A group of organisms, either animal or vegetable,
            related by certain points of resemblance in structure or
            development, more comprehensive than a genus, because it
            is usually based on fewer or less pronounced points of
            likeness. In zo[94]logy a family is less comprehesive than
            an order; in botany it is often considered the same thing
            as an order.
