Origin of bristol
Shortened from Bristol City, the name of an English football team, for titty.
Inherited from Middle English Bristowe, from Old English Bryċġstōw (literally “the place by the bridge”), from bryċġ + -stōw, with additional final /l/ due to hypercorrection from l-vocalizing accents. See bridge and stow for more. The tiddlywinks sense is associated with players from Bristol University.
