Etymology

The term 'kindhearted' originated from the compound of two words: 'kind' and 'hearted.' The word 'kind' comes from the Old English 'cynd,' meaning 'natural' or 'innate,' which evolved to refer to being friendly, generous, and considerate towards others. The word 'hearted' relates to one's character or nature, stemming from the Old English 'heorte,' which refers to the organ in the body that symbolizes love and emotion. Together, 'kindhearted' has been used since the early 19th century to describe individuals who exhibit an inherent kindness in their attitudes and actions. It reflects a special quality of empathy and compassion that defines one's character.
