1842De Morgan Diff. & Int. Calculus 66 note, To avoid..repetition of ‘a quantity which diminishes without limit when △x diminishes without limit’, I have coined this word [comminuent]..To comminute two quantities is to suppose them to diminish without limit together: comminution the corresponding substantive; comminuents quantities which diminish without limit together. |
