Root Explanation
**Poussette** → The word 'poussette' comes from the French word 'pousser' (meaning to push) combined with the diminutive suffix '-ette' (indicating smallness or affection). Thus, 'poussette' refers to a small device that is pushed, specifically a small stroller or baby carriage.
Memory Tip
Think of 'pousser' meaning to 'push' and the '-ette' indicating something small — a poussette is a small thing that you push, like a stroller.
