'kind' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'people from usk initially in miserable place' is the wordplay.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'miserable place' becomes 'hell' (I have seen 'Infernal place' mean 'hell' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'hell'. I am not sure about the 'miserable' bit.).
The initial letters of 'people from usk' is 'pfu'.
'pfu' inserted inside 'hell' is 'HELPFUL'.
