A small crown or a decorative cap; a cornet (a small horn-shaped object).
From 'crown' + '-et' (diminutive suffix). The suffix '-et' creates smaller versions of things, as in 'helmet' (small helm) or 'tablet' (small table).
Diminutive suffixes like '-et' are how languages let you talk about size—even today we use them (kitchenette, booklet, cigarette), preserving a linguistic shortcut from French!
