A small drupe or stone fruit, especially one of the individual drupes in an aggregate fruit like a raspberry.
From drupa (Latin for stone fruit) plus the diminutive suffix -el. Creates a word meaning 'little drupe' to describe small stone fruits that cluster together.
When you eat a raspberry or blackberry, each tiny round part is actually a separate drupel—you're eating hundreds of mini drupes all stuck together, each with its own tiny pit inside!
