In Latin, "minute" means small or tiny. In the 16th century, when a record was kept of official meetings, it was first written in shorthand, which was a very small or "minute" script. The text would later be transcribed into regular size. Thus the record was called the "minutes" of the meeting, originally pronounced "my-noots."
