Etymology of GRANDKID
The word "grandkid" is a compound word formed by combining the words "grand" and "kid".
The term "grand" comes from the Old French word "grant", meaning "great", which in turn originated from the Latin word "grandis", meaning "big" or "great". It became commonly used in English to refer to something of a large or important scale, such as "grandparent" or "grandeur".
On the other hand, "kid" comes from Middle English, derived from the Old Norse word "kith", which meant "young goat". Over time, "kid" extended its meaning to refer to a young person or child.
The combination of "grand" and "kid" gives us "grandkid", which refers specifically to a grandchild, emphasizing the familial relationship as well as denoting a younger generation.
