means The act of downplaying something's size, seriousness, or importance — in math, shrinking a function to its lowest value; in life, shrinking a problem until it fits in a sentence.

from Built from Latin minimus, 'smallest' (the superlative of parvus, 'small'), plus the verb-forming '-ize' and the action-noun ending '-ation.' So minimization literally means 'the act of making smallest' — a straightforward Latin-rooted coinage that English speakers later put to crooked use, applying it to feelings and facts as readily as to numbers.
