Booklets

/ˈbʊklɪts/ noun

Definition

Small books or pamphlets, usually with just a few pages and a paper cover, containing information or a short story.

Etymology

Diminutive form using the suffix '-let' (from Old French, meaning small). 'Booklet' reduces 'book' to emphasize something portable and manageable in size.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-let' appears in tons of English words (piglet, anklet, tablet) to make things sound cute and small—marketers still use this trick to make cheap products sound appealing.
