A very small crumb; a tiny fragment of something.
From 'crumb' plus the diminutive suffix '-let' (something small). This formation parallels other English diminutives like 'piglet' or 'droplet.'
The '-let' suffix is magic for creating cute small versions of things—crumblet sounds adorable compared to 'small crumb,' which is why this suffix survives in modern words like 'booklet' and 'droplet.'
