    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 a small cursive script developed in the 7th century A.D. from the uncial, which it afterward superseded.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.
