A small or young kid (baby goat), or a variant term for soft kid leather.
Diminutive form of 'cheverel,' from Old French 'cheveret,' further reducing the size implications; used for particularly small young goats and fine quality leather.
Medieval leather workers had special names for different qualities and sizes of goat leather—'cheveret' suggests the smallest, finest skins, which would have been incredibly expensive luxury items!
