Etymology

The word 'caboodle' originated in the early 19th century in the United States. It is thought to be a variation of 'kit and caboodle,' where 'kit' refers to a set of tools or a collection and 'caboodle' complements it as a colloquial term for a lot of things. The exact etymology of 'caboodle' is uncertain, but it may derive from 'boodle,' which means a great deal of something or a collection, originating from the Dutch word 'boedel,' meaning property or estate. As a slang term, 'caboodle' has been used in various expressions, becoming a fixture in informal speech by the mid-20th century.
