A small frog or young frog that has recently metamorphosed from a tadpole; a diminutive frog.
From 'frog' plus the diminutive suffix '-let' (as in 'piglet,' 'booklet'), first documented in the 19th century.
Froglets are actually a specific metamorphic stage—they're essentially teenage frogs that still have their tails but can now hop and breathe air, caught between two worlds!
