ditto; ditto marks. Ditto means “the same as above,” “the same as came before.” The word derives from the Latin dictus, “having been said,” which is the past participle of the Latin dicere, to tell. Dictus became ditto in the Italian Tuscan dialect and later passed into English in the 17th century. The word can also mean a duplicate or a copy. Ditto marks are small marks (“) used to indicate that a word written above is to be repeated. |
