tetta

Italian

Etymology

From Late Latin titta, titia, from Frankish *titta, from Proto-Germanic *titt- (“teat; nipple; breast”), from Proto-Indo-European *tata- (“father; parent; nipple”).

Compare also French tette, Spanish and Portuguese teta, Romanian țâță, English teat. The word is found in many European languages and may simply be ultimately an expressive formation based on infantile language.
