Appropriately enough, kidnapper seems to have originated among those who perpetrate this crime. We know this because kid and napper, the two parts of the compound, were slang of the sort that criminals used. Kid, which still has an informal air, was considered low slang when kidnapper was formed, and napper is obsolete slang for a thief, coming from the verb nap, ?to steal.? Nap is possibly a variant of nab, which also still has a slangy ring. In 1678, the year in which the word is first recorded, kidnappers plied their trade to secure laborers for plantations in colonies such as the ones in North America. The term later took on the broader sense that it has today. The verb kidnap is recorded later (1682) than the noun and so is possibly a back-formation, that is, people may have assumed that a kidnapper kidnaps.

Why do skinny people hate fat people?
Low self esteem. Because putting other people down for no good reason makes insecure people feel better about themselves. Also, society frowns upon hating people because of their color, religion or sexual orientation, so hating people for their body type is about the only type of bullying that they can still get away with. NOTE: It is a misguided assumption that skinny people hate fate people or that fat people hate skinny people; the majority of people, fat, skinny, or otherwise, don't hate people. People who hate other people based on superficial attributes are called bigots. We are fortunate that bigots are a minority and that the great majority of people do not hate.
