Etymology
The word 'piddly' likely originated from the 1930s or 1940s in American slang, with unknown roots. It is thought to derive from the word 'piddle,' which means to waste time or engage in trivial activities. 'Piddle' itself comes from the Middle English 'pidlen,' meaning to waste time or to doodle, which is related to 'piddling,' suggesting an action that is minor or of little importance. This etymological background emphasizes the informal, casual nature of the term 'piddly,' associating it with feelings of frustration regarding unimportant tasks or amounts.
