Young pigs, especially those that are small and still nursing from their mother.
From 'pig' (possibly from Old English 'picga'), combined with the diminutive suffix '-let' meaning 'small,' so piglet literally means 'small pig.'
Piglets are born in large litters of 8-12, and they develop incredibly fast—they can grow from 1 pound at birth to 300 pounds in less than a year, making them one of the fastest-growing farm animals.
