A small, interesting, or tasty piece of food, information, or gossip.
Compound of 'tid' (from Old Norse 'tiðindi' meaning timely) and 'bit' (from Old English 'bita' meaning a piece). Became popular in English around the 17th century.
The British spell it 'titbit' which comes from an old-fashioned meaning of 'tit' as something small or delicate—it's one of those words that shows how English spelling varies between countries!
