different between maternal vs kind
maternal
English
Etymology
The adjective is derived from Late Middle English maternal, maternall, from Middle French maternel (“maternal”) (modern French maternel (“maternal; native”)), or from its etymon Late Latin m?tern?lis (“maternal”), from Latin m?ternus (“maternal; related to the mother or her side of the family”) + -?lis (suffix forming adjectives of relationship from nouns). M?ternus is derived from m?ter (“mother”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *méh?t?r (“mother”)) + -rnus (suffix forming adjectives). The English word is cognate with Italian maternale, materno, Portuguese maternal, materno, Spanish maternal, materno.
The noun is derived from the adjective.
