The word 'kinetic' comes from the greek word for 'motion'. In chemistry, kinetics is the study of how fast reactions occur. In many chemical reactions where there are a number of possible products, the first one formed may be the one that is formed most quickly, not necessarily the one that is most stable; if you leave the reaction going, you should eventually form the product that involves the greatest change in bond energy - the thermodynamic product.
