A small clicking sound or a device that produces a light clicking noise.
From 'click' (imitative) + '-et' (diminutive suffix), similar to how 'pocket' comes from 'poke.' This archaic or dialectal term suggests something smaller or softer than a full 'click.'
This adorable diminutive shows how English uses '-et' endings to suggest cuteness or smallness—the same way a 'bucket' is a small 'buk' and a 'jacket' is related to 'jack,' clicket makes a tiny, precious sound.
