(Today's Good Word came from a suggestion by our enduring friend Margie Sved, no one's minion though she is one of our favorites.) It is this word that English has borrowed several times and in various forms over the course of its history. This word was originally mignot which, for reasons that remain mysterious, became mignon in some parts of France. The French word shares its origin with French minet "little darling", a term of affection often used to address children and kitties. However, English prefers to spell this sound as NI, hence the shift to minion. In French and Italian the digraph GN is pronounced, as we see in such borrowed words as poignant, lasagna, and cognac. Word History: Today's Good Word is a variant of mignon "petite and pretty", as in filet mignon. In Play: Minion is used far more frequently in the first sense above than in the second: "When the boss arrived, surrounded by his minions and toadies, the meeting sailed far off its planned course." The second meaning is not far off the first, though, which keeps it viable: "The new finance officer, Gladys Friday, has become the president's minion and probably will get a big bonus and promotion this year." I would recommend avoiding the suffix -ize minionize changes the character of this otherwise lovely word too much. The noun itself has been used as a verb, as to minion someone to your whims and fancies. Notes: Even though we hear this word only rarely today, except in reference to the cute little cartoon characters, It comes to us with an abstract noun, minionism (or the even rarer minionship). A favorite, teacher's pet, someone's darling. Just like real languages, they developed and evolved over years of use by fans and language enthusiasts. Klingon, Elvish, Dothraki and Esperanto were created by expert linguists and these all are actually made up language not some collection of jibberish words. A servile obsequious toady a brown-noser or slavish sycophant. Here is the minion language dictionary which helps you understand the yellow devils.
