About

"-Ito" Suffix refers to a snowclone in which people point out that in Spanish, the "-ito" suffix denotes a smaller version of a larger thing, and if that was true for English, English words with "ito" at the end would imply a larger version of the word; for example, the word "Dorito" would imply a large chip known as the "Doro."

Origin

The earliest known record of this observation was tweeted by user @UniqueDude2.[1] Though the tweet appears to have been deleted, a screenshot of the tweet dates it to October 23rd, 2017 (shown below).
