What is a diminutive word?

A diminutive Word is a form of a Word that conveys a slighter degree of the quality or characteristic described by the root Word, often implying smallness or affection. In many languages, diminutives are created through specific suffixes or alterations. For example, in English, "booklet" is a diminutive of "book," suggesting a smaller version. Diminutive forms can also reflect endearment, such as "kitty" for "kitten."
