belly, womb (akin to Goth. gipus, AS. cwi[thorn] womb) + OE.
nere kidney; akin to D. nier, G. niere, OHG. nioro, Icel.
n[=y]ra, Dan. nyre, Sw. njure, and probably to Gr. nefro`s
Cf. Kite belly.]
[1913 Webster]
1. (Anat.) A glandular organ which excretes urea and other
waste products from the animal body; a urinary gland.
[1913 Webster]
Note: In man and in other mammals there are two kidneys, one
on each side of vertebral column in the back part of
the abdomen, each kidney being connected with the
bladder by a long tube, the ureter, through which the
urine is constantly excreted into the bladder to be
periodically discharged.
[1913 Webster]

Your poets, spendthrifts, and other fools of that
kidney, pretend, forsooth, to crack their jokes on
prudence. --Burns.
[1913 Webster]
Note: This use of the word perhaps arose from the fact that
the kidneys and the fat about them are an easy test of
the condition of an animal as to fatness. "Think of
that, -- a man of my kidney; -- . . . as subject to
heat as butter." --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
