Etymology
The word miniaturist comes from miniature, which originally meant small pictures in books and comes from the old word minium meaning 'red lead' because artists used that red paint when making tiny images. So a miniaturist is an artist who paints very small, detailed pictures, and you can remember it by mini meaning 'small'.
