Root Explanation

Toadlet → The word is formed from "toad" (from Old English *tādige*, meaning a tailless amphibian) and the diminutive suffix "-let" (meaning small or little). A toadlet refers to a small toad, often used to describe juvenile toads.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'toad' as a small amphibian and the '-let' suffix meaning small, so a toadlet is simply a little toad.
