Lassock is a Scottish dialectal diminutive term for a young girl, used affectionately to refer to a small or young lass. The '-ock' suffix is a diminutive marker common in Scots and Scottish English, adding a sense of smallness or endearment. It is an informal, warm term without negative connotations, functioning like 'little lass' in a single compact word. Rarely heard outside of Scottish regional speech and historical literature, it has a gentle, old-fashioned charm.
The wee lassock had been waiting at the school gate for twenty minutes before her mother arrived.
