Familial

We celebrated Christmas with a familial lunch.

Like other studies, it indicated that women are much better than men at empathizing with others, regardless of any familial or cultural influences.

Mark had to leave work due to familial obligations.

Asylums and the Care of the Insane.—Dr. Wille, the director of the recently opened asylum for the Canton of Zurich, at Rheinau, delivered a lecture on this subject to the Swiss Association of Alienists. […] In discussing the mode of providing for the incurable, he refers to the familial system and the agricultural colony. […] Another kind of familial treatment is when under similar circumstances improved patients are discharged from an establishment, but after their discharge they are still more or less looked after in connection with the establishment, and receive superintendence by the authorities, or by organised associations.

The Aztec artists strove with rare consistency to depict the gods as shocking. Though anthropomorphically conceived, however, the gods are still not presented to us as comprehensible. They are buried under a plethora of symbols and rendered inanimate by severe and rigid stylization. We are not asked to reply to the majesty of Huitzilopochtli, the sexuality of Tlazolteotl, the largess of Tlaloc, or the familial warmth of Xiuhteuctli.

As emphasized previously, any particular character varies enormously from group to group in its taxonomic value, and it is quite impossible to predict this value in a group in which that character has not been previously investigated. Stamen number, for example, can be a familial, generic or specific character, or vary greatly within one taxon. The same is true of dioecism, equally so in the bryophytes and flowering plants.
