MINCE

What mince means

To cut food into very small pieces, or to walk with short, quick steps in an affected or dainty manner.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English "minced," derived from Old French "mincier," meaning to cut into small pieces. The Old French verb likely comes from Latin "minutia," meaning smallness or fineness, related to "minutus" (small, diminished). The sense of walking with short, dainty steps developed later from the idea of taking small, precise movements.
