Etymology
The word 'titbit' originated from the late 19th century in British English, derived from combining the word 'tit' (which is a term of endearment) and 'bit', referring to a small piece. The term is thought to have been influenced by the dialectical use of 'tit' in various regional English languages. Initially, 'titbit' referred mainly to small pieces of food and slowly extended its meaning to include small pieces of information or gossip. Over the years, the word has remained common in informal contexts, often used to evoke a sense of charm or a light-hearted feel to the information being shared.
