Etymology

edit

Inherited from Old French tete, probably from Frankish or West Germanic *titta, from Proto-Germanic *titt- (teat; nipple; breast), from Proto-Indo-European *tata- (father; parent; nipple).

Compare Dutch tiet, German Zitze, English tit, teat. Compare also Late Latin titta, Italian tetta, Spanish teta. Possibly ultimately an expressive formation found in many languages.
