Definition
A small piece of armor or covering for the throat or neck area, or a small gorge or ravine.
Etymology
Diminutive of 'gorge' using the suffix '-let' (meaning small), ultimately from Old French 'gorge' (throat), creating 'little gorge or throat-covering.'
Kelly Says
The '-let' suffix gives English speakers a charming way to make things smaller: a eaglet is a small eagle, a piglet is a small pig, so a gorgelet is logically a small gorge or throat-piece—it's how speakers intuitively build new words.
