what are the word(s) using this root word "-elle"?

Question

it means small

Answer 1

Morewords.com has 33 words ending with the letter pattern -elle..

Of course you have to eliminate some that clearly are NOT using the suffix meaning "small", such as "belle" and "selle"

I also have eliminated other members of the list in which I do not believe the "elle" has this particular meaning (where it either a simple feminine form (echelle, immortelle, spiritualle) or comes from some other root (gabelle [from Arabic], villanelle).

I think the rest do, leaving you with 26 words:

amarelle, aquarelle, bagatelle, belle, brocatelle, cadelle, chandelle, chanterelle, cordelle, crenelle, demoiselle, fontanelle, gazelle, immortelle, mademoiselle, micelle, morelle, nacelle, nouvelle, novelle, organelle, pointelle, prunelle, quenelle, rondelle, roselle, selle, spinelle, tagliatelle

Note that link -- you may wish to go to the page and check on the links for each word to get the definitions (and to double check that the "elle" has the meaning you are after).

Also, the site is great for searching for words by pattern. You can look for almost anything from the homepage search box (directions just below it), but there are also quick ways to find words that begin or end with a particular letter or set of letters, by adding

/starts-with/[letters]
/ends-with/[letters] -- as in the link above
