Relating to or characteristic of cows; bovine or cattle-related.
From 'cow' + '-kine' (an archaic plural of cow, from Old English 'cy'). The word 'kine' is an ancient plural form; the '-kine' suffix added to 'cow' creates 'cowkine,' though this is quite rare and archaic in modern English.
Kine is a ghost word from Old English—you see it in the King James Bible ('seven well favoured kine'), and it's why we have the odd phrase 'seven fat kine,' showing how language preserves historical layers like geological strata!
