Help @StJude save Our #Kids (from Cancer, Dyslexia, Leukemia, Brain-Injury or Whatever Ailments We Can Cure)
The way you can help is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Kids” is built on ancient words that mean "Young |Goat" (either the Soft Leather said to be made of their Skin (in #KidGloves etc.), and then possibly applied to 'Children' through the |Bleating typical of both ... originally referring to Young |Thieves & -|Pugilists). #Kid #KidStuff #KidsClub #Kiddo #Kiddy
The verb comes from the idea of 'to |Treat someone like a Child' and is built on ancient words that mean "to |Coax, |Wheedle, Hoax." #Kidding #Kidded #Kidder #NoKidding!
