The term 'piddled' originates from the 19th century and is believed to be a derivation of the word 'piddle', which itself comes from the Middle English 'pidlen', meaning to urinate or to waste time. The playful sound of the word likely adds to its informal and lighthearted nature. Over time, 'piddled' has been adopted into various informal contexts, maintaining its connotation of triviality or carelessness.
