DIMINISH

di-min'-ish: the Revised Version (British and American) has retained nearly all passages of the King James Version where "to diminish" is used. Some of these uses have become obsolete: Deuteronomy 4:2, "neither shall ye diminish from it." "Diminish" generally means "to reduce," "to lessen." In this sense it is employed in Ezekiel 5:11 from the Hebrew gara`, literally, "to shear." The picture of shearing the beard, expressing degradation and loss of manhood, may underlie this passage.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (v. t.) To make smaller in any manner; to reduce in bulk or amount; to lessen; -- opposed to augment or increase.

2. (v. t.) To lessen the authority or dignity of; to put down; to degrade; to abase; to weaken.

3. (v. t.) To make smaller by a half step; to make (an interval) less than minor; as, a diminished seventh.

4. (v. t.) To take away; to subtract.

5. (v. i.) To become or appear less or smaller; to lessen; as, the apparent size of an object diminishes as we recede from it.
