minutian.

Brit.

/mʌɪˈnjuːʃ(ɪ)ə/,

/mᵻˈnjuːʃ(ɪ)ə/, U.S.

/məˈn(j)uʃ(i)ə/

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: minutiae n.

Etymology: < minutiae n., as corresponding singular form (compare minutiae n. b), corresponding formally to classical Latin minūtia smallness (not attested in singular in classical Latin or post-classical Latin in the sense ‘a small detail’: see minutiae n.). Compare Italian minuzia (a1321), French †minucie , minutie (1627 in sense 1, 1748 in sense 2).Earliest attested in the English analogous plural form minutias . Use of minutia with plural agreement perhaps arises from the word being misunderstood as the plural of a Latin word in -um . Both singular and plural uses of this word are less common than minutiae n. N.E.D. (1906) gives only the pronunciation (miniū·ʃiă) /mɪˈnjuːʃɪə/.

a. A precise detail; a small or trivial matter or point.
