înruditori

Înruditori is a Romanian noun meaning one’s relatives or kin, i.e., people connected to a person by kinship. The term is primarily found in formal, legal, genealogical, or historical texts; in everyday language Romanians more commonly use rude or familie to refer to family members.

Typically, înruditori denotes individuals related by blood (consanguinei). In some contexts, it may be used collectively to refer to a broader network of kin within a family, especially when discussing kinship obligations, inheritance, or lineage. The sense is largely complementary to rude, with înruditori carrying a slightly more formal or cumulative connotation.

Etymology and form: the word is built from the root rude (relatives) with the prefix în-, forming a plural noun that designates a group of related people. The term is more frequent in older or formal Romanian; in modern colloquial usage it is relatively rare.

Example usage: Înruditorii săi au venit la ceremonie.

Related terms include rudenie (kinship), rude (relatives), and familie (family).
