Mignon
Small and charming
Mignon means small and dainty, usually with an implication of prettiness or delicacy.
The word is French and appears most often in filet mignon—a small, tender cut of beef from the narrow end of the tenderloin.
Outside culinary contexts, mignon is rare in English but may describe anything petite and charming.
