Kaboodle is a spelling derivation of the English word "caboodle", meaning a group, bunch, lot, pack, or collection of things or people. "Two bottles of Prosecco creates the items to Kaboodle." - Kane[1] Caboodle is further derived from boodle or booty.[2]

This spelling of "kaboodle" has come into popular usage in culture and commerce, often found as part of the idiomatic expression "the whole kit and caboodle", which can be loosely interpreted to mean "everything and more".[3]

Not everybody hates cats, you know!" Snoopy, in thought balloon: "I find that hard to believe."[4]
