Why is kidnap called kidnap?

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 Kid, which still has an informal air, was considered low slang when kidnapper was formed, and napper is obsolete slang for a thief, coming from the verb nap, ?to steal.?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.

What does it mean to dream of a child being abducted?

Your probably a very worried parent and should lighten up

Another Answer:

The dream is a metaphor for something happening in your life. In this case it seems that something very precious that belongs to you, in the sense that it's "your baby," or "you conceived it," has been taken away without your consent.

For example, suppose you designed and developed a piece of software over the course of several months. Just before it was ready to launch, your boss came in and claimed it, put his name on it, and presented it to the directors as if he'd come up with the entire idea. In dream language, he stole your baby.

Perhaps in real life, when this "child" was taken away, you shrugged and passively accepted the situation, because that's just the way life is. Your dream is telling your conscious mind that you are more upset and hurt about the situation than you are will to admit to yourself.
