Teeny-tiny

Answer:

EENSY

Hint:

Think of a whimsical word often paired with "weensy" in nursery rhymes or fairy tales. It starts with a vowel and sounds like something very small.

Explanation:

"Teeny-tiny" is a playful way to describe something extremely small, and "eensy" is a whimsical, informal word that fits perfectly. It’s often paired with "weensy" in phrases like "eensy-weensy," which you might recognize from nursery rhymes or children’s songs. The clue leans on this lighthearted, almost sing-songy term rather than a strict dictionary definition. Think of it as the kind of word you’d use when talking to a kid or exaggerating how tiny something is.
