Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'repair', originating from Old French 'reparer' and ultimately Latin 'reparare' (to put back in order), with 'kit', from Middle Low German 'kitte' (tub, vessel) which evolved in English to mean a collection of gear or tools. The compound noun gained widespread usage with the advent of manufactured goods requiring portable maintenance tools, notably during the industrial and bicycling eras.
