Webster's 1828 Dictionary
MINOR
a.[L. minuo, to diminish. See Mince. ] 1. Less; smaller; sometimes applied to the bulk or magnitude of a single object; more generally to amount, degree or importance. We say, the minor divisions of a body, the minor part of a body; opposed to the major part. We say, minor sums, minor faults, minor considerations, details or arguments. In the latter phrases, minor is equivalent to small, petty, inconsiderable, not principal, important or weighty.
2. In music, less or lower by a lesser semi-tone; as a third minor.
Asia Minor, the Lesser Asia, that part of Asia which lies between the Euxine on the north, and the Mediterranean on the south.
MINOR
n.A person of either sex under age; one who is under the authority of his parents or guardians, or who is not permitted by law to make contracts and manage his own property. By the laws of Great Britain and of the United States, persons are minors till they are twenty one years of age. 1. In logic, the second proposition of a regular syllogism, as in the following:
Every act of injustice partakes of meanness.
To take money from another by gaming, or reputation by seduction, are acts of injustice.
Therefore the taking of money from another by gaming, or reputation by seduction, partake of meanness.
2. A Minorite, a Franciscan friar.
3. A beautiful bird of the East Indies.
MINORATE
v.t.To diminish. [Not used. ]
MINORATION
n.A lessening; diminution.
MINORITE
n.A Franciscan friar.
MINORITY
n.[L. minor. ] 1. The state of being under age. [See Minor. ]
2. The smaller number; as the minority of the senate or house of representatives; opposed to majority. We say, the minority was large or small; AB was in the minority; the minority must be ruled by the majority.
Webster's 1913 Dictionary
MINOR
Mi "nor, a. Etym: [L., a comparative with no positive; akin to AS. min small, G. minder less, OHG. minniro, a., min, adv. , Icel. minni, a., minnr, adv. , Goth. minniza, a., mins, adv. , Ir. & Gael. min small, tender, L. minuere to lessen, Gr. mi to damage. Cf. Minish, Minister, Minus, Minute. ]
1. Inferior in bulk, degree, importance, etc. ; less; smaller; of little account; as, minor divisions of a body.
2. (Mus. )
Defn: Less by a semitone in interval or difference of pitch; as, a minor third. Asia Minor (Geog.), the Lesser Asia; that part of Asia which lies between the Euxine, or Black Sea, on the north, and the Mediterranean on the south. -- Minor mode (Mus. ), that mode, or scale, in which the third and sixth are minor, -- much used for mournful and solemn subjects. -- Minor orders (Eccl.), the rank of persons employed in ecclesiastical offices who are not in holy orders, as doorkeepers,acolytes, etc. -- Minor scale (Mus. ) The form of the minor scale is various. The strictly correct form has the third and sixth minor, with a semitone between the seventh and eighth, which involves an augmented second interval, or three semitones, between the sixth and seventh, as, 6 /F, 7 /G #, 8 /A. But, for melodic purposes, both the sixth and the seventh are sometimes made major in the ascending, and minor in the descending, scale, thus: --See Major. -- Minor term of syllogism (Logic ), the subject of the conclusion.
MINOR
MINOR Mi "nor, n.
1. A person of either sex who has not attained the age at which full civil rights are accorded; an infant; in England and the United States, one under twenty-one years of age.
Note: In hereditary monarchies, the minority of a sovereign ends at an earlier age than of a subject. The minority of a sovereign of Great Britain ends upon the completion of the eighteenth year of his age.
2. (Logic )
Defn: The minor term, that is, the subject of the conclusion; also, the minor premise, that is, that premise which contains the minor term; in hypothetical syllogisms, the categorical premise. It is the second proposition of a regular syllogism, as in the following: Every act of injustice partakes of meanness; to take money from another by gaming is an act of injustice; therefore, the taking of money from another by gaming partakes of meanness.
3. A Minorite; a Franciscan friar.
MINORAT
Mi `no *rat ", n. [G. Cf. Minor, a.] (Law )
Defn: A custom or right, analogous to borough-English in England, formerly existing in various parts of Europe, and surviving in parts of Germany and Austria, by which certain entailed estates, as a homestead and adjacent land, descend to the youngest male heir.
MINORATE
Mi "nor *ate, v. t. Etym: [L. minoratus; p. p. of minorare to diminish, fr. minor, a. See 1st Minor. ]

Mi `nor *a "tion, n. Etym: [L. minoratio: cf. F. minoration. ]
