gadget
Definition: An impressive but unnecessary device or tool; any small
object that does something.
Example: 1) What's that new gadget you've got there, Jimbo?
2) I found a gadget that works my stereo, VCR, and garage door!
Etymology: The word 'gadget' came into use in the 1800s, as factories
started making more and more tools and strange little objects. It is
derived from the French word 'gachette', which refers to a small
mechanical part of a rifle or lock.
Synonyms: thingamajig, doohickey
