A very small or insignificant creature or person, formed by combining cuitle with the '-ling' diminutive suffix.
From 'cuittle' plus '-ling,' layering two diminutive suffixes to create an even more emphasizing sense of smallness. This double-diminutive pattern exists in other English words like 'kinglet.'
Doubling up diminutive suffixes was actually something English speakers did to show extreme affection or mockery! 'Cuittling' demonstrates how language users could express nuance and emotion through clever stacking of word parts.
