minimus
Tiny finger, anatomically
Minimus is the smallest or least important member of a group.
In anatomy, it designates the smallest of a set of muscles or digits: the gluteus minimus, the digitus minimus (little finger or toe).
The word comes from Latin for "smallest" and appears occasionally in humorous or literary contexts to describe the runt or junior member: the minimus of the litter.
