词源

词源 1
From Middle English kyt, kytt, kytte, from Middle Dutch kitte (“a wooden vessel made of hooped staves”). Related to Dutch kit (“tankard”) (see below). The further etymology is unknown. Perhaps from Proto-Germanic *kitjō-, *kut-, which would be related to the root of Dutch kot (“ramshackle house”), itself of non-Indo-European origin.
The transfer of meaning to the contents of a soldier's knapsack dates to the late 18th century, extended use of any collection of necessaries used for travelling dates to the first half of the 19th century.
The further widening of the sense to a collection of parts sold for the buyer to assemble emerges in American English in the mid 20th century.
词源 2
[Alt: A young red fox emerging from a burrow, looking at the camera]

词源 3
16th century, perhaps from cithara.
词源 4
Borrowed from German kitte, Kütte (“flock of doves”) (circa 1880).
