In the book, the protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver, finds himself shipwrecked on the island of Lilliput, inhabited by a race of tiny people, the Lilliputians, who are only about six inches tall.
Over time, the word "Lilliputian" has come to describe anything that is notably small or diminutive, often with a humorous or whimsical connotation. Beyond its literary roots, the term is also used metaphorically to describe something or someone that is insignificant, trivial, or petty in comparison to a larger context.
