Little pieces

Answer:

IOTAS

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

Iotas" fits "Little pieces" because an iota is a tiny amount or fragment—literally the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet, often used to mean something minuscule. The clue plays on the word’s double meaning: it can refer to both a physical scrap and an almost negligible quantity. Think of phrases like "not one iota of doubt" to see how it hints at something barely there. No tricks here, just a straightforward definition with a touch of linguistic history.
