Etymology
The word 'kite' has its origins in Middle English from the word 'kyte', which means a type of bird known for its ability to fly. The use of 'kite' as a noun referring to the toy that flies in the wind can be traced back to the 15th century. Initially, kites were made from paper or cloth and used for various purposes such as testing the wind, signaling, and even religious ceremonies. The verb form 'to kite' emerged later, coinciding with the use of the kite in recreational activities. Over time, the term has evolved and gained additional meanings, such as the fraudulent context, which became prominent in the 20th century with the rise of banking and check-writing practices. This highlights how language adapts and transforms with changing societal practices.
