A pampered or spoiled child, especially one who is excessively indulged by parents or caregivers.
From French dor (to gild) and lot (portion), suggesting a child treated as if gilded or specially favored. The term emerged in 16th-century French aristocratic circles to describe petted children.
This delightfully obscure word shows how different languages capture the universal experience of spoiled kids—French literally 'gilded' them while English just called them brats!
