Usage Examples

Etymology

**Minutieux** originates from Old French *minuté* (late 13th c.), itself derived from the Latin *minutus*, the past participle of *minere* “to reduce, make small.” The Latin root *minus* “less” gave *minutus* “small, minute”; in French the sense shifted to “detailed, exact.” The adjective was formed by adding the suffix *‑eux* to the noun *minute*, yielding the modern *minutieux* meaning “meticulous.”
