Usage Examples

Etymology

The feminine possessive adjective “mienne” (from “mien”) comes from Old French *mienne*, which in turn derives from Latin *meus* (“my”). In Middle French it was used only as an adjective, but in later literary contexts it was occasionally nominalized, taking the feminine ending *‑e* and meaning “my own” or “mine”. The word has preserved its original possessive sense while shifting from purely adjectival to a rare nominalized form.
