maximmaximum (opposite pole)Etymology
Romanian borrowed "minim" from French "minime" and Latin "minimus," the superlative of "parvus" (small) built on the same base as "minor." It entered the language in the 19th century as part of the wave of French and Latin vocabulary that modernized Romanian. The word kept its comparative sense of "smallest possible" in both its adjective and noun uses.
