Etymology of MINISH

The word "Minish" does not have a well-established etymology as it is a relatively rare word. However, it is believed to be derived from the Middle English word "minishen", which means to diminish or make smaller. The "en" suffix is a variation of the Middle English verbal ending "-en" used to form the infinitive of verbs. Over time, "minishen" evolved into the modern English word "minish", which essentially retains the same meaning. While the origin of "minishen" itself is unclear, it is likely derived from Old French or Old Norse.
