miniscor

Latin

Etymology

Uncertain. De Vaan considers the attestation in the works of Festus to be unreliable. Nevertheless, the forms showing -minīscī may derive from the application of the inchoative suffix -scō to Proto-Indo-European *mn̥yétor or possibly *ményetor. Ultimately from the root *men-.

Pronunciation
