Morphology

wobblette = wobble (transparent) = wobble + ette

Formed by adding the diminutive suffix '-ette' to 'wobble', yielding a small or playful wobble that is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

The word wobblette comes from the common word wobble, meaning 'to move unsteadily', and the small French ending -ette, meaning 'small', so a wobblette is a tiny, playful wobble.
