Root Explanation

Bralette → The word is a diminutive form of 'bra' (short for brassiere, which comes from the French 'brassière', meaning a support for the arms) with the suffix '-ette' (a diminutive suffix in French meaning small or little). The term 'bralette' refers to a small or light version of a bra, typically without underwire.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'bra' as a support garment, and the '-ette' means it's a smaller or lighter version. This helps you remember that a bralette is a smaller, lighter bra.
