recently one of my friends said this to me,i know it means a bit of a belly,but how does a kite relate to my belly,where did this come from,why a kite?

[gen2]

Kite (or Kyte) is a Scots word meaning a paunch or belly. Its etymology is unknown.

In Middle Dutch, 'kuite', and in Low German, 'kut', both meant a fleshy part of the body, such as the calf of the leg or thigh. So, though there is no certain etymological connection, as Gen2 says, it is quite likely that those are the source of the 'belly' meaning of the word usually spelt 'kyte'.
