I searched the internet and found a discussion on this. Their opinion is that the "T" is in reference to a T-Square. The T-Square is an device used by draftsmen to draw a straight line. It may have been a early tool used by carpenters and builders in construction of a building. Before computer drafting, all engineers and draftsmen had a T-Square if they wanted to draw anyting. Now the question becomes: What does the "T" in T-Square mean? This may refer to the word "Title", a minute and precisely positioned pen stroke or printer's mark. A tiny brushstroke was all that distinguished the Hebrew letter "dalet" from "resh". "Title" was the word chosen by Wycliffe to translate references to this tiny difference in his version of the New Testament. Thus the mark was perfectly suited to its task. It makes sense to me; I hope that is correct.
