A small green bird, particularly a type of warbler or similar songbird found in various parts of the world.
Diminutive form created by adding '-let' (a suffix meaning 'small') to 'green,' referring to the bird's small size and greenish plumage. The suffix '-let' comes from Old French and became common in English for creating names of small things.
Greenlets are masters of camouflage—their green feathers blend so perfectly with leaves that ornithologists often find them by sound before sight, making them like tiny invisible acrobats in the canopy!
