Root Explanation

Nymphet is derived from "nymph" (from Latin "nympha", meaning a young woman or goddess of nature) and the diminutive suffix "-et" (indicating smallness or endearment). The term "nymphet" refers to a small or young nymph, often used to describe a young girl with an alluring or enchanting quality.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'nymph' as a young goddess of nature, and the '-et' makes it sound smaller or cuter, helping you remember that a 'nymphet' refers to a young girl with an enchanting quality.
