min·is·cule

M0316900 (mĭn′ĭ-skyo͞ol′)adj. Variant of minuscule.

mi•nus•cule

(ˈmɪn əˌskyul, mɪˈnʌs kyul)

adj. 1. very small. 2. (of letters or writing) small; not capital. 3. written in such letters (opposed to majuscule). n. 4. a minuscule letter. 5. a small cursive script developed in the 7th century A.D. from the uncial, which it afterward superseded. [1695–1705; < Latin minusculus smallish. See minus, -cule¹] mi•nus′cu•lar, adj. usage: minuscule, from Latin minus meaning “less,” has frequently come to be spelled miniscule, probably under the influence of the prefix mini- in the sense “of a small size.” Though this spelling occurs frequently in edited writing, it is usually considered an error.
