Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English kitoun, kytton, kyton, keton (kitten), of obscure origin. Seemingly from, and usually explained as being from, unattested *kitoun, *ketun (compare chitoun, cheton, chaton (kitten), diminutive of cat, chat (cat)); whence Modern chaton. Similar words of Germanic origin may have reinforced this word; compare kitling, Kitten, kettlingur, chitte ("whelp, pup", see chit).
