A small cradle or portable bassinet; a diminutive form of berceau.
French diminutive of 'berceau' using the suffix '-ette' meaning 'small.' Used in English primarily in interior design and antique contexts.
The suffix '-ette' is French for 'small female' but in English it just means 'small'—so berceaunette is a baby cradle, but the gendered original meaning is invisible to modern English speakers.
