inconsiderable
Too small to matter
Inconsiderable means too small or unimportant to merit attention or concern.
It appears almost exclusively in the negative: a not inconsiderable sum, no inconsiderable achievement.
This double-negative construction—meaning fairly substantial—is the word's natural habitat.
The straightforward positive form is rare; people say "trivial" or "negligible" instead.
