Etymology
Widget is a playful English name for a small object, tool, or software part used when the real name is unknown or not important. It probably came from the familiar word gadget plus the small ending -et, a way to say 'little', so think of a widget as a 'little gadget', which is why we use it for any small device or a generic example.
