giảm bớt
/ˌdɪmɪˈnjuːʃn//ˌdɪmɪˈnuːʃn/The word "diminution" has its roots in Latin. The Latin word "diminutio" means "lessening" or "reduction", and it is a combination of "diminuere", which means "to lessen" or "to reduce", and the suffix "-tio", which forms a noun indicating an action or a state. The word "diminution" first appeared in English in the 15th century, derived from the Latin "diminutio". Initially, it referred to a decrease or reduction in size, amount, or intensity. Over time, its meaning broadened to encompass a variety of contexts, including a decrease in sound or light, a diminishment of quality, or a reduction in complexity. Despite its complex etymology, "diminution" is a common and versatile word in modern English.
