"Trifle," meaning "something of little importance," was adapted in English from French "truffe" as also related to "truffle" with the sense "little lump" which arose from "tuber" for a globular root found at the base of some vegetables and thus also for a subterranean black lump mushroom as a delicacy of French cuisine."Bagatelle" also refers to something of little significance from the Italian "bacca" for "berry" probably from some types being inedible but used ornamentally.Old pieces of fabric often as rags of generally little value, yielded the following terms: frippery, falbala, and paltry.Small odd devices may carry indefinite designations such as "gadget" from French "gachette" meaning "little bolt" originally invented for sliding into a catch place for locking a gate or door or as "doo dad doo hickey" from an observer's uncertainty with the thought "What does it DO?".
