No Matter How You Say It: Kindness
Word Origin
“The word ‘kindness’ harks back to the Old English ‘kyndnes’ which meant “nation” – and has roots in the word ‘kin’, as in one’s family, race or relations. The word eventually evolved into our more modern understanding of “courtesy or noble deeds” by the 14th century.” From https://www.speakmedia.co.uk/blog/word-of-the-week-kindness
