Ditto is an English form of the Italian word 'detto' which means 'said'. When we say ditto, or use  we mean what we want to say is already said. Source(s): I checked this source in the Collins dictionary. Apparently this form came into English in the 17th century.
WEST MICHIGAN â The full moon in the month of August is known as the âSturgeon Moon.â The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month.
As befits a representative of fishdom's medieval era, the lake sturgeon wears armor in the form of bony, shell-shaped plates, or scutes, arranged in five rows - two on each side and one along the back - that run along the length of the body. Each scute comes to a peak with a sharp-pointed spur.
