The term "tootsie" originated in the late 19th century and is often associated with the Tootsie Roll, a chocolatey candy introduced in 1896 by Leo Hirshfield. The name is believed to be a nickname for Hirshfield's daughter, Clara, whom he affectionately called "Tootsie." Generally, "tootsie" can refer to a child's or endearing term for a foot, but it has become most widely recognized in connection with the candy.
