OriginLate Middle English: from Old French mincier, based on Latin minutia 'smallness'. The words mince, minute ‘small’, menu, and diminish all derive ultimately from Latin minutus ‘small’. Mince in the sense ‘expressing yourself candidly’, now found mainly in not mince your words, goes back to Shakespeare: in Henry V King Henry says to the French princess he is courting, ‘I know no ways to mince it in love, but directly to say, I love you.’ This use produced ‘to say in an affectedly refined way’ and then ‘to walk in an effeminately dainty way’, as early as the 1560s. In the sense ‘ground meat’ mince was earlier mincemeat (mid 17th century) and even earlier minced meat. The mincemeat put in pies at Christmas originally contained meat as well as fruit. To make mincemeat of, to defeat easily in a fight or contest, dates from the late 17th century.
