• detto (alternatively in Austria), ditto (obsolete)
• do., dto. (abbreviation)

From Late Middle High German ditto (15th c.), from older Italian ditto, variant of detto (past participle of dire (“to say”)). The spelling dito, possibly influenced by Venetan dito, appears in German already in the 17th century and thus apparently earlier than French dito (18th c.), though this last may have reinforced it later on.

From Western Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *di-tu,^[1] from *di + *-tu, from Proto-Austronesian *Cu (“2pl deixis and spatio-temporal reference: that; there, then”). The latter half of the word is likely related to ito, in a similar pattern to other Tagalog demonstrative pronouns. Compare Cebuano didto and Ilocano ditoy. Meanwhile, the former half is possibly related to Malay di and Indonesian di as a likely cognate.

dito (Baybayin spelling ᜇᜒᜆᜓ)

• When the preceding word ends with a vowel, ⟨w⟩, or ⟨y⟩, rito is used instead, but the distinction isn't always made. Other words with this phenomenon include diyan, doon, daw, and din.
