A small seabird of the auk family, found in northern seas and known for diving and swimming.
Diminutive form of 'auch' or 'auk' (a seabird) combined with the diminutive suffix '-let', indicating a small version.
The '-let' suffix (meaning 'small') is wonderfully productive in English—from 'piglet' to 'booklet'—and 'auchlet' shows how even obscure seabirds get the diminutive treatment, making them sound adorably tiny.
