A little device or construct that does 'something', in a particular known way and seemingly of its own accord.
Disambiguation

In WoW
In a WoW UI Customization context, a widget refers to a (usually visible) component of the user interface, such as a "Frame", "Button", "EditBox", etc. Widgets can be created through XML, using WoW's FrameXML facility, see XML UI, or via the CreateFrame() API, and further be controlled run-time with functions in the Widget API and the WoW API proper.
