MINUS
What minus means
A mathematical operation or symbol (−) that subtracts one number from another, or informally, a disadvantage or negative aspect of something.
Where the word comes from
From Latin *minus*, meaning "less" or "smaller," which derives from the comparative form of *minuus* (small, diminished).
