A small drupe that is part of an aggregate fruit, like each tiny segment of a raspberry or blackberry.
From drupa plus -let, an English diminutive suffix (from French). More common than drupel in modern botany; -let is widely used in English for small versions of things.
The word 'drupelet' reveals a hidden truth: when you bite a raspberry, you're not eating one fruit—you're eating dozens of tiny individual fruits glued together by a shared stem!
