What does Best/kind REGARDS means? It's probably hard to explain, but any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Regards means greetings. So 'kind regards' or 'best regards' means something like 'I greet you in a friendly way'.

Regards probably comes from the french verb 'regarder' meaning to look. I guess that it came into English as a way of saying 'I look at you' or 'Hello'.

I hope this is some help.
