kist noun[ C ] Scottish Englishuk /kɪst/ us /kɪst/ a large chest (= a strong box, usually made of wood, used for storing or moving goods or possessions): She took a skirt and a jacket from a kist and thrust them at the girl. The spoken language they used was different: kist for chest, and gowk for fool. Scots is the language of our poets and our hearts, the kist where our best treasure is stored. The letters have been slid between rough stone and worm-eaten panelling, behind the kist.
