Word origin
The word 'ditto' comes from the Italian word 'detto,' which means 'said.' It was first recorded in English in the late 17th century, and it typically refers to the act of repeating something that has already been mentioned or to signify agreement with a previously stated opinion. Over time, 'ditto' evolved into a common informal phrase used in conversation and writing, often used to save time when responding to something that has already been acknowledged. The transformation of 'ditto' into its variant 'dittoed' reflects the natural evolution of language where words take on various forms to fit grammatical needs, allowing for a more versatile expression in everyday use.
