Background
History
In English, the word kindness dates from approximately 1300, though the word's sense evolved to its current meanings in the late 14th century. The word "kindness" comes from the Old English "kyndnes," which is related to "kind," meaning "nature" or "family," or "love". This suggests that kindness was initially seen as a natural quality within one's kin.
