From French bonbonnière, from bonbon + -ière.
noun bonbonnieres · bonbonnière · bonboniere
- A small decorative container (box, dish or pouch) used to hold sweets. To such an extent was the use of this medicine carried at one period, that Dr. Zinck remarks, “It was pushed so far that I may say, without exaggeration, the tincture of Iodine bottle occupied the place of the bonbonniere, (sweet meat box) for I have seen persons carrying it about with them.”
