  1. minute

    That is minute which is of exceedingly limited dimensions, as a grain of dust, or which attends to matters of exceedingly slight amount or apparent importance; as, a minute account; minute observation. That which is broken up into minute particles is said to be comminuted; things may be termed fine which would not be termed comminuted; as, fine sand; fine gravel; but, in using the adverb, we say a substance is finely comminuted, comminuted referring more to the process, fine to the result. An account extended to very minute particulars is circumstantial, detailed, particular; an examination so extended is critical, exact, precise. Compare FINE.

How to use minute in a sentence?

  1. Steve Schmidt:

    We’re not going to pump any more water than we need to, because it’s an expense, we might have a well that can pump 1,000 gallons a minute, but that doesn’t mean we’re pumping it at 1,000 gallons a minute – we might be pumping it at 500 gallons a minute. We watch our water very closely.

  2. Scott C. Holstad:

    Blank paper before me; fresh snow fall, tracks slowly appearing, my future mapped out, my life, my day. Minute by minute, laboriously, every nook, every cranny exposed. This is my true life, I think while wondering what became of the person I used to be.

  3. T. S. Eliot:

Capitol Hill, in an interview with CNN, said that Capitol Hill would not reveal who made the inappropriate remark but said soon after speaking up about it, Capitol Hill heard from other female members of Congress who had heard a similar joke line from him. Capitol Hill said Capitol Hill thought about it and decided it needed to be called out and used as a teaching moment.
