The term "diminutive" refers to a word or form that conveys a smaller or lesser version of something, often used to imply affection or familiarity. In linguistics, it can describe a grammatical form that indicates smallness, such as adding suffixes like "-let" or "-y" (e.g., "duckling" or "kitty"). Diminutives can also reflect a person's endearment or a playful tone when referring to someone or something.
