Etymology: "Kidvid" is a blend of "kid" and "vid," the latter a clipped form of "video." The compound packs both halves into a short, punchy label, the way "vid" itself had already shortened "video" into something that sounds casual and informal. The result is a plain, transparent construction: a children's program or a category of television aimed at young viewers. Its two parts are easy to see, which makes it one of the more straightforward words in modern English.

Synonyms: children's television, kids' show
