A plural or variant form relating to small or minimal things (rare or archaic usage); sometimes used in specialized contexts.
Likely from Latin 'aminus' (less) or a variant plural formation. This is an uncommon term with uncertain modern usage, possibly from older chemical or scientific nomenclature.
This word is so obscure that even specialized chemists rarely encounter it—it's a ghost word in scientific literature, appearing only in very old texts or highly specific technical contexts.
