Meaning
noun a basket (usually hooded) used as a baby's bed
noun a perambulator that resembles a bassinet
originFrom French bassinet (“small basin”), equivalent to basin + -et. Ernest Klein, however, suggests derivation from French bercelonnette (“cradle”), with influence from bassin(et), to account for the English sense's semantic specialization.
