Etymology of GOODCHILD

The word "goodchild" can be traced back to Middle English and has an Anglo-Saxon origin. It is derived from the Old English words "gōd" meaning "good" and "cild" meaning "child". The combination of these words created the term "goodchild", which originally referred to a child who was considered good or virtuous. Over time, the meaning of the word has shifted, and it is now more commonly used as a surname rather than to describe a child's character.
