the.com/piglet
the smallest pig in the litter, born ready to outrun your entire moral resolve.
means A young or baby pig.
from A diminutive of 'pig,' that word being suffixed with '-let' — the same little tag that shrinks a book into a 'booklet' and a drop into a 'droplet,' borrowed long ago from French. 'Pig' itself is murkier: it surfaces in Middle English as 'pigge,' apparently meaning a young swine, though its deeper roots are genuinely unknown — so 'piglet' is, fittingly, a small word built atop a mystery.
