Origin

Mid 19th century (originally US): perhaps from the phrase kit and boodle, in the same (see kit1, boodle).

  • The caboodle in the expression the whole caboodle or the whole kit and caboodle, meaning ‘the whole lot’, is a mysterious word. The phrase was originally the whole kit, and later the whole kit and boodle. Boodle meant ‘a lot, a crowd’, or ‘money’, and may be connected to Dutch boedel, meaning ‘possessions’. See also kit

Rhymes

boodle, canoodle, doodle, feudal, noodle, poodle, strudel, udal
