Morphology

shrublet = shrub (transparent) = shrub + let

The formation is a straightforward diminutive: 'shrub' + '-let' yields 'small shrub', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

The word shrublet is simply the common word shrub plus the little ending -let, which means 'small', like in booklet or piglet. So a shrublet is a 'small shrub'.
