A waffle-like pattern or texture created by pressing; also refers to a thin waffle or crisp cookie.
From French 'gaufre,' meaning waffle, from Germanic origins; the word can refer both to the pattern and to the food itself.
The French word 'gauffre' means waffle, and English borrowed it to describe the *pattern* these waffles make—so 'gauffrette' cookies are literally 'little waffles' that look delicious.
