英语词汇tot的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

tot. A relatively recent word, first recorded in 1725, tot, for “a small child,” may go back to the Old Norse tuttr, “dwarf,” or the Danish tommeltot, for “Tom Thumb.” It could also derive from totterer, or be connected somehow with the Anglo-Saxon totri- da, “swing.” And since tot means a small drink, too, the word could come from the earlier toddy (rum toddy, etc.), which de- rives from the Hindi tari, “a drink,” and is first recorded in 1609. A lot of theories for a little word—and no proof for any of them.
