Definition
A small ornamental object, trinket, or piece of jewelry shaped like or decorated with a heart; a feminine keepsake.
Etymology
From 'heart' plus the French diminutive suffix '-ette' (meaning small female thing), as seen in 'cassette' and 'brunette.' This creates a deliberately cute and feminine term for heart-shaped items.
Kelly Says
The '-ette' suffix is especially common in English for feminine diminutives—notice 'kitchenette,' 'brunette,' and 'majorette' all sound smaller and more delicate than their non-'-ette' versions, even though '-ette' didn't originally mean female.
