kid /kɪd/, sb.[entry#1] Forms: 3-5 kide, 4-5 kyde, kede; 4-6 kyd(de, (5 kydd), 4-7 kidde, 4- kid.
Etymology: ME. kide, kede, kid, commonly regarded as ad. ONor. kið (Sw., Da. kid):-OTeut. *kiðjom, related to G. kitz, kitze from OHG. chizzî, kizzîn:-OTeut. *kittîn from orig. *kiðnīn. The final -e of ME. kĭde is not explicable from ONor. kið, but the initial k makes it still more difficult to refer the word to any OE. type.
