Etymology

The word 'kiddy' is derived from the slang term 'kid,' which emerged in the late 19th century. The term 'kid' originally referred to a young goat, but over time, particularly in American English, it became a colloquial term for a child. By the early 20th century, 'kiddy' began to gain popularity as an affectionate diminutive form of 'kid.' It encapsulates the playful and innocent nature associated with children. The usage of 'kiddy' reflects a broader cultural trend of embracing youthful characteristics and attributes, especially in contexts related to entertainment, clothing, and behavior.
