Этимология (Английский)

From older Tartuffel or Tartüffel (18th c.), from Italian tartufolo, diminutive of tartufo (“truffle”), from Medieval Latin *territūberum or Latin terrae tūber (“tuber of the earth”).
The use as an ethnic nickname is due to the prominence of potatoes in German cuisine. Compare Spaghetti (“Italian”), Käskopp (“Dutch person”).
