small
Fine (Latin finis, end) denotes that which has been brought to a full end, finished. From this root-sense many derived meanings branch out, causing words quite remote from each other to be alike synonyms of fine. That which is truly finished, brought to an ideal end, is excellent of its kind, and beautiful, if a thing that admits of beauty; as, a fine house, fine trees, a fine woman, a fine morning; if a thing that admits of the removal of impurities, it is not finished till these are removed, and hence fine signifies clarified, clear, pure, refined; as, fine gold. That which is finished is apt to be polished, smooth to the touch, minutely exact in outline; hence fine comes to be a synonym for all words like dainty, delicate, exquisite; as, fine manners, a fine touch, fine perceptions. As that which is delicate is apt to be small, by an easy extension of meaning fine becomes a synonym for slender, slight, minute, comminuted; as, a fine thread, fine sand; or for filmy, tenuous, thin; as, a fine lace, fine wire; and as a thin edge is keen, sharp, fine becomes also a synonym for these words; as, a fine point, a fine edge. Compare BEAUTIFUL; MINUTE.
Synonyms:
beautiful, clarified, clear, comminuted, dainty, delicate, elegant, excellent, exquisite, fine, gauzy, handsome, keen, minute, nice, polished, pure, refined, sensitive, sharp, slender, slight, smooth, splendid, subtile, subtle, tenuous, thinAntonyms:
big, blunt, clumsy, coarse, great, heavy, huge, immense, large, rude, stout, thick

Tony Evers:
Now we have no plan and no protections for the people of Wisconsin, when you have more people in a small space — I don’t care if it’s bars, restaurants or your home — you’re going to be able to spread the virus. And so now, today, thanks to the Republican legislators who convinced four Supreme Court justices to not look at the law but look at their political careers I guess — it’s a bad day for Wisconsin.
-
Chief Executive Steve Sanghi:
We are now even more confident that the small correction that we experienced in the September quarter is behind us.

Hunter Martin/Getty Images:
It’s really easy for the media and the administration to just focus on Lia and all the things that are hurting her and how she needs compassion right now, but I think we’re the ones who truly need compassion right now, and we’re the ones who are just being overlooked and told to just suck it up and deal with it and to accept second place. I think it’s wrong, when we came here, we were told we were going to have equal opportunities, and it just seems like our administrators and parts of society, very small parts, because I believe most people know it’s wrong, but that those people just think that we shouldn’t care about winning. And that’s wrong. You know, what message are you telling little girls? You’re telling them that they shouldn’t strive for first place, that they should be OK with second.

Carri Bennet:
Farmers, ranchers, small businesses in rural America, the people who support those businesses in rural America — your teachers, all that, our members are in small, little communities mainly of under 10,000 people… It doesn’t help them. It ends up hurting them.
-
Ben Meiselas:
It’s a small but significant step for ticketholders who were defrauded and had their lives up ended as a result of the fraudulent conduct by McFarland.
