Etymology of CHENETTE

The word "chenette" is of French origin. It comes from the French word "chenet", which originally referred to a type of metal support or frame used to hold logs in a fireplace. Over time, the term "chenet" also came to be associated with small decorative figures or ornaments placed on the fireplace hearth. In the Caribbean, particularly in the French-speaking islands like Martinique and Guadeloupe, these decorative figures on fireplaces were often in the shape of fruits, including a small round fruit known as "chenette". The term "chenet" then started to be used to refer to these fruits as well. Hence, "chenette" ultimately derived from the French word "chenet" and evolved to refer to the fruit instead of the fireplace ornament.
