An intensive group work session or meeting
for a group task. After char (work) and -ette (small), the term
reportedly comes from French schools of architecture where student teams
are required to produce architectural models as a major school project.
The models are called charettes (small works); the same term applies to
the all-night work sessions that are a customary part of their
production.
