etiquette /ˋɛtɪˏkət/
etiqu(stick)-ette [仔細看的話e後面的字型，其實就是ticket唷]
n.禮節;禮儀 [The practices and forms prescribed by social convention or by authority. ]
字源：1750, from Fr. étiquette "prescribed behavior," from O.Fr. estiquette "label, ticket." The sense development in Fr. is from small cards written or printed with instructions for how to behave properly at court (cf. It. etichetta, Sp. etiqueta ), and/or from behavior instructions written on a soldier's billet for lodgings (the main sense of the O.Fr. word).
源於法文，原本的意思是一個小卡片(ette代表小的東東)上面寫有在法院時的行為指導事項
字尾 -ette: a noun suffix occurring originally in loanwords from French, where it has been used in a variety of diminutive and hypocoristic formations ( brunette; cigarette; coquette; etiquette; rosette ); as an English suffix, -ette forms diminutives ( kitchenette; novelette; sermonette ), distinctively feminine nouns ( majorette; usherette ), and names of imitation products ( leatherette ).
-ette從法文借字來的，帶有"小"、"簡稱"的意思
還可以當指女性的名詞 ex. 女市長 majorette 樂隊女指揮,樂隊女隊長
另外還有當作組合仿製產品的名字之用
