組成It does not split into living English pieces. From Middle English kilne, from Old English cyln / cylen, “a large oven,” from Latin culina, “kitchen” or “kitchen stove.” In English, an old -ln- in the middle of a word often became -ll, as in mill; kiln kept a spelling with n. People who say it with n may be following an older sound, or simply reading the letters.
