Bookit

/ˈbʊkɪt/ noun

Definition

A small book; a booklet or pamphlet.

Etymology

From book + -it (diminutive suffix). This informal term treats books as things that can be made small with a diminutive suffix.

Kelly Says

Bookit is primarily a Scottish and Northern English dialect term that never quite made it into standard dictionaries, but it perfectly shows how languages create diminutives to describe smaller versions of things.
