Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old English plural noun 'cildru', an extension of 'cild' (child), tracing back to Proto-Germanic roots. Historically, the double plural suffix ('-r-' and '-en') survived into Modern English, making it one of the few irregular plurals of its kind.
