Giants collectively as a race or category; all giants considered as a group or species, particularly in mythology or fantasy contexts.
Compound of 'giant' + 'kind' (meaning 'race' or 'species'). The word 'kind' comes from Old English 'gecynde' meaning 'natural' and evolved to mean 'a category or type of being'.
This word appears in fantasy literature and Dungeons & Dragons-style worldbuilding to refer to giants as a distinct society or species, mirroring how we use 'mankind' or 'humankind'—it suggests giants have their own culture and history.
