Etymology
From Old High German chintpetti and similar forms, whence also German Kindbett (“childbirth, bed of childbirth”). Old High German chintpetti consists of chint (“child”) (whence German Kind, Yiddish קינד (kind)) and petti (“bed”) (whence German Bett, Yiddish בעט (bet)). By surface analysis, קינד (kind) + בעט (bet).
