Etymology: "Toolkits" is the plural of "toolkit," a noun for a set of equipment packed together for a particular job. The plural simply means more than one such set, so the word's history lies in the compound itself: "tool" joined to "kit." "Tool" is an old Germanic word, related to the Old English "tol," and in early use it meant an implement held in the hand for work. "Kit" is considerably younger in English and is generally associated with a set of gear or a container for it, such as a soldier's or sailor's outfit. Joining the two produced a compound that describes a bundle of implements for a task, and the word was formed in English from these ordinary elements rather than borrowed from another language.

Synonyms: kits, sets, packages
