different between pamphlet vs leafet

English

Etymology

c. 1387, Middle English pamphilet, panflet (“small, unbound treatise”), from Anglo-Norman Pamphilet, diminutive of Old French Pamphile, used as a popular shorthand for the 12th century Latin love poem Pamphilus (seu) de amore (“Pamphilus (or) On Love”), which was so widely circulated in pamphlets as to give name to the whole phenomenon; the eponym from Ancient Greek ???????? (Pámphilos, literally “beloved by all”), deriving from ???- (pan-) +? ????? (phílos). Further borrowed as Anglo-Latin panflettus.

For the use of the diminutive of the author's name as shorthand for Latin titles in French cf. Ysopet/Esopet from Ésope, Catonet from Caton, Avionet from Avianus.
