Definition tit

Etymology 1

From Middle English tit, titte, tette, from Old English tit, titt, from Proto-Germanic *titt- (“teat; nipple; breast”), from Proto-Indo-European *tata- (“father; parent; nipple”). Cognate with Saterland Frisian Tit, Dutch tiet, dialectal Dutch tet, German Zitze, Titte, Yiddish ציצע‎ (tsitse). Probably related to an original meaning “to suck”. Compare Albanian thith (“to suck, breast, tit”) and teat.
