A small, flat magnetic storage disk used with early computers; a floppy disk.
From disk + -ette suffix (diminutive). Created in the 1970s when IBM needed a name for their small portable storage medium.
The floppy disk icon on your computer still looks like a 1980s diskette even though nobody uses them anymore—it's a 'skeuomorph,' a design that imitates outdated tech out of pure habit!
