How the clue works
The definition is part of table setting, with the question mark softening the slightly cryptic surface reading. The wordplay is a charade: NAP means "down" (a downy covering or surface), KIN means "family", and RING means "group". The word "putting … first" indicates the ordering of these components, giving us NAPKIN RING.
