Etymology

The word 'minx' has its origins in the 17th century and is derived from the dialectal term 'mynx', which was a diminutive of 'mink'. Originally, it may have referred to a small, clever animal, highlighting traits of cunning and playfulness associated with women. With time, the meaning evolved to refer more directly to a flirtatious and mischievous woman. It is noteworthy that 'minx' has often carried a playful connotation, frequently seen as a term of endearment rather than a harsh criticism, embodying a mix of charm and slyness. Its usage has been prominent in literature and popular culture, capturing a specific archetype that embodies both allure and mischief.
