kidnapv.

Brit.

/ˈkɪdnap/, U.S.

/ˈkɪdˌnæp/

Etymology: < kid n.¹ 5c + nap v.³, to snatch, seize (compare nab v.³); possibly as a back-formation < kidnapper n. The words no doubt originated among the class which followed the practice of kidnapping. Bailey, Johnson, Ash, etc. stress kidˈnap, which is still usual in the north.

Originally, to steal or carry off (children or others) in order to provide servants or labourers for the American plantations; hence, in general use, to steal (a child), to carry off (a person) by illegal force.
