Etymology: "Froglings" is the plural of "frogling," a noun for a small or young frog. The word is built from "frog," the familiar amphibian name, and the suffix "-ling," which English uses to form diminutives, as in "duckling," "gosling" and "nestling." Attaching "-ling" to a noun turns it into a small or young version of that thing, so a frogling is a little frog, usually one not yet fully grown.

Synonyms: tadpoles, froglets
