The Dawkins family? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'family?' is the definition.
('kin' can be a synonym of 'family')

'the dawkins' is the wordplay.
'KIN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kin that I've seen before include "Connections; family" , "One's family/relations" , "Family members" , "Relations, go with kith" , "Family and relations" .)
