KYTE Meaning and
Definition
-
Kyte is a noun that typically refers to a type of toy or object used for flying, consisting of a light framework covered in cloth or other materials, which catches the wind and allows the object to soar in the air. It is commonly known as a kite. The term kyte is mainly of Scottish origin and is commonly used in Scottish dialects.
Usually, a kyte/kite consists of a lightweight frame made of wood or plastic, with a string attached to it. The frame is covered with paper, fabric, or even plastic sheeting, providing a large surface area that catches the wind. By holding onto the string and running against the wind or letting the wind carry it upwards, the kyte is able to take flight and can be controlled to some extent by manipulating the string. Kytes are often flown in open spaces like parks or beaches, where the wind force is sufficient for them to soar through the sky.
In a broader sense, the term kyte can also be used metaphorically to describe the stomach or belly, particularly in Scottish dialects. This usage is less common and more colloquial. It implies a large or protruding belly, similar to the shape of a kyte or kite as it catches wind and becomes inflated.
