max-minadj.n.

Brit.

/ˈmaksˌmɪn/, U.S.

/ˈˌmæksˈˌmɪn/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: maximum n., minimum n.

Etymology: < max- (in maximum n.) + min- (in minimum n.), after Min-Max (see quot. 1944 at min-max adj.) or German Max Min (see quot. 1928 at sense A.). Compare maximin adj. and n.

A. adj. (attributive).

That depends on, relates to, or is concerned with maximum and minimum values; spec. = maximin adj.
