There are too many accounts on social media that take the term Nymphet too far in a sexual way. This book will be used to decipher, pick apart, and define the word so it can finally be desexualized. Please share this around!
Hi again! I've found something that could maybe help with our definition. According to "Conversations with Vladimir Nabokov" by Robert Golla, he (Kerry Ellard, the interviewer, that is) mentioned that Nabokov coined the term. But is that true?
No, it's actually not. He only invented the classification.
Below is a screenshot of the conversation:

So what can we take from this? As we can read here, early French and American poets like Shakespeare and Ronsard had a completely different definition of Nymphet, since they have used the terms in their poems. They were simply charming Nymphs.
And speaking of Nymphs, according to Nabokov, is where Nymphet came from.
Nymph = Mythological spirit who takes the form of a beautiful maiden
Ette (or Et in this case) = Small
So from what I've found, I can say that the temporary definition is: A charming maiden, who may or may not be small and young, and can be (but should not be) viewed or abused sexually by an adult.
Please note this definition is only temporary, there is still more to come when it comes to what the definition is. Thanks for reading!
