The Dawkins family? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'family?' is the definition.
(I know that family can be written as kin)

'the dawkins' is the wordplay.
'KIN' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kin that I've seen before include "Connections; family" , "One's family/relations" , "Family members" , "Relations, go with kith" , "Family and relations" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
