Etymology: "Frizettes" is the plural of "frizette", a small curl or ringlet, usually worn at the front or sides of the hair. The singular comes from French "frisette", meaning "curl", itself a diminutive of the verb "friser", "to curl". The word's suffix marks it as a little version of something: a "frisette" is a small curl, much as a "cigarette" was originally a small cigar.
