Definitions, Scale, the RMS Canon & Why the Word Has Nothing to Do With Small Chapter 1 of 12 The word "miniature" has deceived the world for five centuries. It does not mean small. Understanding this single etymological fact is the foundation of everything that follows — and the single most powerful opening line you own as RMS President.
