Meaning of "kilderkin" in English

A "kilderkin" is a historic unit of volume typically used for measuring liquids, such as ale or beer. Traditionally, a kilderkin is equivalent to half of a barrel or roughly 18 gallons (68 liters) in imperial units. The term originates from the Middle Dutch word "kinderkin," meaning "small cask."
