A tropical hardwood similar to brazilwood, used for dyeing and fine woodwork, also called sappanwood.
Italian or Spanish diminutive of 'brasil' (brazilwood), using the suffix '-etto' or '-etto' to indicate a related but distinct type of wood from the same family.
Brasiletto is like nature's 'knock-off' of brazilwood—it comes from a different tree but produces similar red dyes and looks similar, so traders basically used it as a cheaper substitute when the real brazilwood was scarce or expensive.
