ilk (plural ilks)
A type, race or category; a group of entities that have common characteristics such that they may be grouped together.
• In modern use, ilk is used in phrases such as of his ilk, of that ilk, to mean ātypeā or āsort.ā It often, though not necessarily, has negative connotations. The use arose out of a misunderstanding of the earlier, Scottish use in the phrase of that ilk, where it means āof the same name or place.ā For this reason, some traditionalists regard the modern use as incorrect. It is, however, the only common current use and is now part of standard English.
