Interesting. It's also cognate with "confection". https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=confetti > 1815, "small pellets made of lime or soft plaster, used in Italy during carnival by the revelers for pelting one another in the streets," [...] the custom was adopted in England by early 19c. for weddings and other occasions, with symbolic tossing of little bits of paper (which are called confetti by 1846). |
