Etymology
From Middle Irish did, which could come from a Proto-Celtic *diddis, cognate with Proto-Germanic *tittaz, the source of Old English titt and English tit. Both the Celtic and the Germanic terms are probably of expressive origin, but the Celtic word could also be at least partly from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)- (“to suckle”). See: Old English Nouns '
titt', English Nouns '
tit'.
