mite
Pittance, biblically speaking
A mite is a tiny arachnid, often microscopic, that lives on plants, animals, or in soil—dust mites trigger allergies, and mites cause mange in dogs.
Mite also means a very small amount or a small creature, especially a child: The poor mite was exhausted.
A mite as an adverb means slightly: a mite disappointed.
