Duckling

/ˈdʌklɪŋ/ noun

Definition

A baby duck that is small and fluffy and follows its mom everywhere.

Etymology

This word comes from 'duck' plus '-ling' meaning 'little one.'

Kelly Says

A duckling is a tiny baby duck that looks like a fluffy yellow ball with little webbed feet! They love to paddle behind their mama duck in a cute line, just like in the story about the ugly duckling.
