(Did you always think that "kidgloves" were something that you wore when you wanted to be nice, and then take them off when you meant business?)

Kinder: derived from German meaning "children" (plural of child), as in "kindergarten" = children + garden.

Sorry everyone, just another referee who can't admit when he's wrong...
Keep reading in your dictionary. The third definition of "kid" is "child or youngster derived from the word kinder." It was clear in my original post that I referred to youngsters, not goats.

Your line of logic is typical of the some posters from Chicago. When they can no longer defend their position, they introduce extraneous items into the discussion in order to distract the reader from the foolishness of their positions.
