The word "kit" originated in the late Middle English period (14th century), likely derived from the Middle Dutch word kitte, meaning a wooden vessel or tub. Over time, its meaning expanded to denote a collection of items stored together, eventually evolving into its modern sense of a set of tools or equipment. The word retains its compact Germanic root structure without clear morpheme boundaries.
