Etymology

The French adjective **infime** comes from Latin *infinitus* (from *in* “not” + *finis* “end”), meaning “unbounded, infinite.” In medieval French, *infim* (Old French) adopted a figurative sense of “extremely small,” a semantic shift from “boundless” to “minuscule.” Over time the word entered modern French as *infime*, retaining the sense of something “very small or extremely weak.”
