Definition of majuscule
majuscule \MAJ-us-kyool or muh-JUSS-kyool\
(noun) - A large letter (as a capital)
"Even though he was one of many managers in the department, Nelson's
self-important tone always made it sound as if his title began with a majuscule,
therby elevating his seeming importance."
"Majuscule" resemblance to its complement "minuscule," is no coincidence.
"Minuscule" appeared in the early 18th century as a word for ancient writing
styles which had "small forms." Eventually, it came to be used for any lowercase
letter before acquiring a general use for anything very small. "Majuscule" is
the counterpart to "minuscule" when it comes to letters, but it never developed
a broader sense (despite the fact that its Latin ancestor "majusculus" has the
broad meaning "rather large"). The adjective "majuscule" also exists (as does "majuscular").
