Pity and Shame typically go hand an hand, you’ll hear people say “That’s a shame” but you can replace shame with pity “That’s a pity” and achieve the same result.
However when addressing another person, you won’t hear people say “I shame you” instead you’ll hear “I pity you” to show displeasure or anger to another person.
As an ESL, I had to look up pitty thinking it has to do with pits

Hope this helps!
I think it’s mostly because above spelled it wrong and it made it just different enough that we thought it was a new word.
