Origin of the word kick about

The phrase "kick about" derives from the Victorian era when children enjoyed playing games involving kicking a ball around. The verb "to kick" in this context specifically refers to how the ball was moved, and the preposition "about" indicates the aimless or aim fulfilled movement of the ball and the players around the field or open space. Over time, "kick about" has evolved to describe any informal, unstructured activity, where one engages in lighthearted recreation, devoid of specific objectives. Today, "kick about" signifies a fun, carefree pass-time, especially while socialising with friends or family.
