來源：
French [small, minute, menu]
法語 [小的，極小的，微小的]
from Old French menut [small]
源自 古法語 menut [小的]
from Latin minôtus [past participle of] minuere [to diminish] * see mei- 2
源自 拉丁語 minôtus [] minuere的過去分詞 [減少] *參見 mei- 2

<注釋>An enormous menu might be considered an oxymoronif one were to restrict the word etymologically.Menu can be traced back to the Latin word minôtus, meaning .small in size, amount, or degree.and also .possessing or involving minute knowledge..Latinminôtus became Old French menut and Modern French menu, .small, fine, trifling, minute.. The French adjective came to be used as a nounwith the sense of .detail, details collectively,. and .detailed list..As such, it was used in the phrasemenu de repas, .list of items of a meal,. which was shortened tomenu. This word was borrowed into English,being first recorded in 837.The French word had been borrowed before,perhaps only briefly,as a shortening of the French phrasemenu peuple, .the common people.. This usage, however, is recorded in only one text, in '58.
.一個(gè)龐大的菜單.這一說法可能會(huì)被看成是一種矛盾的修辭法，如果人們從語源學(xué)角度對(duì)這個(gè)詞進(jìn)行限制的話。Menu 這個(gè)詞的詞源可上溯到拉丁詞 minutus， 意為.尺寸、數(shù)量或程度小的.，或者.具備或涉及到精細(xì)知識(shí)的。.這個(gè)拉丁詞minutus 而后又成為古法語單詞 menut 和現(xiàn)代法語單詞 menu， 意為.小的、精巧的、瑣碎的、詳細(xì)的。. 這個(gè)法語形容詞逐漸被用作名詞，意為.細(xì)節(jié)、諸多細(xì)節(jié).及.詳細(xì)的名單.。就這樣，它被用于詞組menu de repas， 意為.一張菜肴明細(xì)單.， 后來這個(gè)詞組又被簡(jiǎn)略為menu。 這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)略詞被引入英語中，最早出現(xiàn)于837年。這個(gè)法語單詞以前也曾被英語借用過，但也許只用了很短一段時(shí)間，而且是作為意為.普通民眾.的法語詞組menu peuple 的簡(jiǎn)略詞。 然而這一用法僅在'58年的一篇文章中出現(xiàn)過
