"ilk" meaning in English

Adjective

IPA: /ɪlk/ Audio: en-us-ilk.ogg [US], en-au-ilk.ogg [Australia]
Rhymes: -ɪlk Etymology: From Middle English ilke, from Old English ilca, conjectured as from Proto-Germanic *ilīkaz, a compound of *iz and *-līkaz from the noun *līką (“body”). Akin to Dutch lichaam, or lijk, body, dead body. The sense of “type”, “kind” is from the application of the phrase ‘of that ilk’ to families: the word thus came to mean ‘family’.
