Etymology
The word 'dittied' is derived from the noun 'ditty', which refers to a simple, simple song or melody. The origins of 'ditty' can be traced back to the early 17th century and is thought to be a diminutive form of 'dit', which itself is a term for a short poem or a short, simple song, possibly originating from the Latin word 'dictatum', meaning 'something dictated'. Over time, as 'ditty' was adopted into the English language, it became primarily associated with light, often humorous, songs or simple melodies. The transformation into the verb form 'dittied' allows it to express the act of singing such simple tunes, reflecting a playful and joyous disposition inherent in the act of singing merrily.
