Morphology

collarette = collar (transparent) = collar + ette

A clear diminutive formation meaning a small collar or neck band, directly relating to the base word.

Etymology

Collarette comes from collar + -ette ('small'). A collarette as clothing is a short ribbon or band worn around the neck to hold a medal or badge, so the word means a 'small collar' that supports an insignia.
