Crossword Genius

Hide child's family (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kidskin

'hide' is the definition.
(type of goat hide)

'child's family' is the wordplay.
'child's' becomes 'kid's' ('kid' can be a synonym of 'child').
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'kids'+'kin'='KIDSKIN'

(Another definition for kidskin that I've seen is " Hide material".)
