Minister′

Minister′: noun. A very popular (and need I say mathematically witty) abbreviation for "prime minister." Fusing the mathematical prime symbol (used for set complements, derivatives and so on) with the political function of a prime minister, the word minister′ was invented by one of the few people who dabbled in both sciences: Aristotle. Needless to say, the authors of this blog detest Aristotle for his boring monologues and unconvincing arguments, but we have to grudgingly admit that he did make some fine contributions to the English language before it was even invented.
