What does BITSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalchildish
Very small; tiny.
Bitsy is built from "bit", a small piece of something, plus the diminutive ending -sy that also shows up in words like "cutesy". English speakers most often meet it doubled, in the rhyming phrase "itsy-bitsy", used for something charmingly tiny, from a swimsuit in an old song to a spider in a nursery rhyme. On its own, without the itsy, bitsy still carries the same sense of smallness, usually said with warmth rather than as a neutral measurement.
