minetten.¹

Brit.

/mᵻˈnɛt/, U.S.

/məˈnɛt/

Origin: Partly a borrowing from German. Probably partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: German Minette; French minette.

Etymology: In sense 1 < German Minette (P. L. Voltz in J. F. Aufschlager L'Alsace (1828) Suppl. III. ii. 55) < French minette low-grade iron ore found chiefly in Lorraine (1822 in Elié de Beaumont; 1312 in Middle French in sense ‘small mine’) < mine mine n. + -ette -ette suffix. In sense 2 probably independently < French minette.Voltz used the German term of rocks composed largely of mica but without the parallel texture of schists; he apparently thought that the minette ore was of this type.

1. Geology. A dark-coloured lamprophyre consisting chiefly of biotite and alkaline feldspars.

1866 P. H. Lawrence tr. B. von Cotta Rocks Classified 174 It is sometimes difficult to distinguish minette from mica-porphyry.

1903 A. Geikie Text-bk. Geol. (ed. 4) I. 219 Minette is one of the mica-traps frequently found as veins and other intrusive bodies.

1940 F. F. Grout Kemp's Handbk. Rocks (ed. 6) iii. 66 Dark biotite syenites in dikes, especially if of sugary texture, or with phenocrysts of biotite in a sugary groundmass, have been called minettes.

1966 Jrnl. & Proc. Royal Soc. New S. Wales 99 38/1 Many of the common lamprophyres, such as minettes, vogesites, kersantites and spessartites are almost chemically identical.

1993 Jrnl. Petrol. 34 194 The dyke swarm outcrops in an area about 50 km long and 30 km wide and includes minette, vosegite, spessarite, and basalt.

2. Geology. More fully minette ironstone, minette ore. A low-grade oolitic iron ore found mainly in Luxembourg and Lorraine, France.
