Diminutive

The diminutive is both an affectionate and cautious way of using language. Affectionate because we generally use it to designate what is pleasant, those things so affable that they allow themselves to be diminished without losing their meaning. And cautious because we also use it to disarm certain words that, in their original form, are too threatening.
