a tiny dictator who can't walk, talk, or vote yet runs the entire household
means A very young child or infant, especially one not yet able to walk or talk; also used affectionately for a sweetheart or as a label for the youngest in a group.
from From Middle English 'babe,' likely an imitation of the babbling 'ba-ba' sounds infants make before words arrive — the same instinctive baby-talk that probably gave us 'babble.' The '-y' on the end is the cozy diminutive English loves to tack onto small, dear things (think 'doggy,' 'mummy'). So the word is essentially the noise a baby makes, handed back to it as a name.
