Etymology: "Shrublets" is the plural of "shrublet," a noun for a small, young shrub. The word is built from "shrub" and the diminutive suffix "-let," which English borrowed from Old French and which turns a base noun into a little version of it. Words like "booklet," "piglet" and "streamlet" follow the same pattern, so a "shrublet" is simply a little shrub.

Synonyms: bushes, saplings, plants, seedlings, foliage
