bagatelle (bag-uh-TEL) noun
1. Something unimportant.
2. A kind of pinball game in which balls are struck with a cue to send
them to holes at the other end.
3. A short, light piece of verse of music
I had always heard the term to mean also a motley collection of anything
But I had never heard def 3 above. Does anyone know its approximate age, or is it a neologism
Thanks all
