A small flagon or a small jug-like container, typically for holding beverages in reduced quantities.
From 'flagon' (a large container) plus the diminutive suffix '-et' (meaning small), which comes from Old French '-et'. This creates a miniature version of the larger vessel.
Just like 'flaglet' showed us the '-let' suffix, 'flagonet' demonstrates how '-et' works similarly in French-influenced English words—both suffixes shrink things down, but '-et' comes through the French tradition!
