Etymology

From Old English *t?de, a shortening of t?die, t?di?e, of uncertain origin. Compared to Old Norse and modern Danish tudse (“toad”), but OED rejects this because the zero grade of ai is i, not u. Possibly from a common Proto-Germanic word *tod (“small”), compared to Proto-Germanic *t?drijaz (“small, frail”) (modern English tidbit) or *talt?n? (“to sway, dangle, hesitate”) (modern English toddle), referring to its short steps.
