1. Baronetnoun

   The lowest degree of honour that is hereditary; it is below a baron and above a knight; and has the precedency of all other knights, except the knights of the garter. It was first founded by king James I. A.D.1611. John Cowell But it appears by the following passage, that the term was in use before, though in another sense.

   Etymology: of baron and et, diminutive termination.

   King Edward III. being bearded and crossed by the clergy, they being too strong for him, so as he could not order and reform things, was advised to direct out his writs to certain gentlemen of the best abilities, entitling them therein barons in the next parliament. By which means he had so many barons in his parliament, as were able to weigh down the clergy; which barons were not afterwards lords, but baronets, as sundry of them do yet retain the name. Edmund Spenser, on Ireland.

1. baronet

   A baronet is a hereditary title awarded by the British Crown. It is a rank in the British nobility system that falls between a baron and a knight. Unlike knights, baronets are allowed to pass on their title to their descendants. Despite being a hereditary title, being a baronet does not entitle a person to a seat in the House of Lords.

1. Baronet

   A baronet or the rare female equivalent, a baronetess, is the holder of a hereditary baronetcy awarded by the British Crown. The practice of awarding baronetcies was originally introduced in England in the 1300s and was used by James I of England in 1611 in order to raise funds. A baronetcy is the only hereditary honour which is not a peerage. A baronet is styled "Sir" like a knight, but ranks above all knighthoods and damehoods except for the Order of the Garter and, in Scotland, the Order of the Thistle. However, the baronetage, as a class, rank above the knightage. A baronetcy is not a knighthood and the recipient does not receive an accolade. A Baronet is considered a member of the Gentry and not a titled dignity.
