Meaning:
A drabble is a short piece of writing, typically between 50 and 100 words. It is often a loose sketch or vignette, capturing a moment or impression.
Origin:
The term "drabble" was first used in a literary context in 2005 by Chris Baty, the founder of the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).
Baty described a drabble as a "100-word work of fiction." The name was chosen because it evoked the notion of a small, muddy puddle—a quick and dirty way to get something down on paper.
Since then, the term has become widely adopted and is now commonly used to refer to any short piece of writing under 100 words.
