Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. To PIDDLEverb

    Etymology: This word is obscure in its etymology; Stephen Skinner derives it from picciolo, Italian; or petit, Fr. little; Mr. Edward Lye thinks the diminutive of the Welsh breyta, to eat; perhaps it comes from peddle, for Stephen Skinner gives for its primitive signification, to deal in little things.

    From stomach sharp, and hearty feeding,
    To piddle like a lady breeding. Jonathan Swift, Miscellanies.
