kindredship
Bond through relatedness
Kindredship is the state of being kindred—related by blood or bound by shared nature and affinity.
The word emphasizes the relationship itself rather than the people in it: a sense of kindredship among immigrants, the kindredship between the two artists was evident in their work.
Less common than kinship, which covers the same ground.
