minuscular adjective .
| minuscule, miniscule Minuscule is originally a technical word that has developed a more general meaning. The grammar has also changed, because the word was originally a noun and is now familiar as an adjective, meaning -very small-. This makes it awkward in use: ? She struggled with a minuscule portion of chicken. ? His wide chest tapers to a minuscule waist and spindly useless legs. For this reason, and because the word is not often marked by a distinct pronunciation, it is sometimes written as miniscule, under the influence of the productive prefix mini-: ?She showed him a photograph album, with herself by a fjord in a miniscule bikini. However, this spelling is not yet widely accepted. Recommendation: use minuscule in more formal writing and print; be cautious about using miniscule, although this form is likely to win in the end. |
