A small or young drake, or a diminutive form of something drake-like.
From drake plus the diminutive suffix -let, which comes from Old English and is used to create smaller versions of words (like piglet or booklet).
The suffix '-let' is incredibly productive in English—we use it for everything tiny from eyelet to toilet, and it has remained nearly unchanged since Anglo-Saxon times!
