The first printed use of this word was in 1889, but there are records of it being used before then, possibly since the early 1600's. It is thought that it could refer to an old phrase, "I'll quote him to a tittle.", where tittle means a miniscule amount. That means that the phrase, "down to a T" means that a person has it down to almost a precise point.
This phrase was coined by Howard Lawrence Carr who hosts a popular radio program on WRKO 680 AM in Boston, Massachusetts. He often uses the phrase whenreferring to the recent death of some celebrity or potentate.
