Answer:
There's no full form. The word family came into English in the fifteenth century. Its root lies in the Latin word famulus, “servant”. The first meaning in English was close to our modern word “household” — a group of individuals living under one roof that included blood relations and servants. It could even refer solely to the set of servants in a household, a usage still current in the eighteenth century (“to take someone into one’s family” could mean that the person concerned was employed as a servant).
It was soon extended to mean those descended, or claiming descent, from a common ancestor, a house, as we might still refer today to “the house of Windsor” for the whole kin group of the present British royal family. It might also describe an even wider grouping of a whole people conceived as having similarly descended from a common ancestor.
At the time of the publication of the Authorised Version of the Bible in 1611,family still had these connotations. In some places in that work the word was used in a way equivalent to tribe. For example inGenesis, we have “By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations”. If the Authorised Version wanted to refer to our modern sense of a relationship between parents and children it had to use “near kin”.
The shift in sense of family from “household, including servants” to “near kin” seems to have taken place quite gradually during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and not to have been complete until the early nineteenth century. The change was a consequence of social evolution in Britain, which began to divide the household, with servants coming to be regarded as a distinct and separate group
