Word Origin & Etymology
Derived from Middle English 'kit' (denoting a wooden tub or container), from Middle Dutch 'kitte' (wooden jug). The sense of 'outfit' or 'equipment' arose in the late 18th century, initially in a military context. The sense referring to a young animal is an abbreviation of 'kitten'.
