Verbum Diei, die lunae, A D IV KAL SEPT, anni AUC MMDCCLXVIII: mica
Verbum diei hodie est:
mīca, mīcae: crumb, bit, morsel, grain
1st declension feminine
at illa respondit et dicit ei utique Domine nam et catelli sub mensa comedunt de micis puerorum
But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
Mark 7.28
It's related to the Ancient Greek mikros, meaning small. It also has a descendant in mica, the name of a fancy rock made of tiny parts.
Nonne habetis verba cara? Verba invisa? Verba jocosa? Date mihi verba vestra, et fortasse videatis hic!
