sweetings
Old-fashioned dessert apples
Sweetings is a term of endearment for loved ones, especially children or romantic partners—a plural of sweeting, itself an old-fashioned variant of sweetie: Come along, sweetings, time for bed.
The word sounds archaic or deliberately quaint, appearing mainly in historical fiction or affected speech.
