Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the proper name Tichborne, specifically popularized by the 19th-century Tichborne Claimant court case where a very large man claimed to be the diminutive Sir Roger Tichborne, leading to ironic usage of the name for small people or things. Over time, it shifted from a nickname into a general British colloquial term denoting someone or something notably small in size.
