#KITTEN CABOODLE FULL#
I saw the constables all bear down in a full body from Wood's Hotel, which is King-street end of the Hustings down to the pump when they came to the pump, I was standing facing the spot, and there came a head constable with the whole kit of the constables, each had a black staff with silver tipped at each end, and a crown at top it was about two feet long, I was standing there, and if I had not moved I should have been knocked down by it.Īnd the early slang lexicographer Francis Grose recorded it in his 1785 A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, although he got the etymology wrong: From James Hartley’s The History of the Westminster Election of that year: Much like we might say a “barrel of _” or a “passel of _,” one might say a “kit of _.” And by 1784 we see the phrase the whole kit, meaning the entirety of something, the entire group. The meaning of kit eventually transferred over to the contents of the container. In the kitchen are 2 lead vessels 1 mash vat with related items 4 wort vats of which 2 are new and 2 old 3 poor-quality vats 3 tubs 2 tins, 1 good and the other bad 2 honey vats 1 new sieve 3 good sifting cloths, 1 honey sieve, 11 barrels for beer, 2 vessels for preserving beer, 3 good containers, 2 good wort dishes, 2 tankards and 1 kit for cow’s milk, 1 churn, 1 poker for the fire, 1 good ash-rake for the fire.) Kit in the sense of a barrel or other container dates to at least 1362, when it appears in an inventory of property belonging to the monastery at Jarrow-Monkwearmouth: A hide would be large enough to support a single household, typically about 120 acres or 12 hectares, and a gyrd was one fourth of a hide, about 30 acres or 3 hectares. Hide and gyrd are measures of land, the exact size varying with the locality. At Stroat there are 12 hides 27 gyrds of leased land-and on the Severn River are 30 basket-weirs.) (In Tidenham there are 30 hides-9 of estate land & 21 hides of tenanted land. charter granting land to the abbey at Bath: But the compound cytwer, meaning a dam, weir, or barrier fitted with baskets for catching fish is recorded. The word *cyt meaning a basket or container probably existed but isn’t recorded in the surviving record. But the history of the phrase is one of gradual accretion of elements going back over a thousand years. And caboodle sounds like a nonsense word. We know kit as a collection of gear or equipment, but that makes little sense in this context. The constituent elements, however, make little sense to the present-day ear.
