Morphology
bachelorette = bachelor (transparent) = bachelor + ette
Same morphological formation as the basic sense; the specific cultural use (e.g., 'bachelorette' in the context of pre-wedding celebrations) is pragmatic but the referent 'unmarried woman/about-to-be-married woman' follows directly from the base.
Etymology
Bachelorette comes from bachelor together with the French ending -ette, which gives a female or smaller form (think kitchenette). That's why a bachelorette can mean an unmarried woman who is about to marry and is often the person celebrated at a 'bachelorette' party.
