Tiny

/ˈtaɪ.ni/ adjective

Very small in size. It describes something much smaller than usual or expected.

Probably from 'teeny,' a baby‑talk form of 'teen' in 'sixteen' etc., or a blend of 'teeny' and 'petty.' It first appears in English in the 17th century. The exact origin is uncertain, but it clearly developed from playful, childlike speech.
