Surface Forms

falsie singular

falsies plural

Morphology

falsie = false (transparent) = false + ie

Formed from 'false' + the informal noun-forming suffix '-ie', giving a 'fake' object; the relation to 'false' is transparent even if the exact object type must be learned.

Etymology

Falsie comes from the word false ('not real') with the friendly little ending -ie, so it names a small fake item you wear. A helpful way to remember it is that falsies are pads put in a bra to make breasts look fuller even though they are not natural, which is why the name fits.
