Definition

A colloquial, often affectionate term for a female infant or young girl.

Etymology

This is a compound word formed by combining 'girl' (from the Middle English 'girle') and 'baby' (from the Middle English 'baban'). It represents a modern, informal linguistic construction common in internet-age colloquialisms.
