little
語源
From Middle English litel, from 古期英語 lȳtel, from Proto-Germanic *lūtilaz (“tending to stoop, crouched, little”), from Proto-Indo-European *lewd- (“to bend, bent, small”), equivalent to lout + -le. Cognate with Dutch luttel, regional German lütt and lützel, West Frisian lyts, Low German lütt, Old High German luzzil, Middle High German lützel, 古期英語 lūtan (“to bow, bend low”); and perhaps to 古期英語 lytig (“deceitful, lot deceit”), Gothic (liuts, “deceitful”), (lutjan, “to deceive”); compare also Icelandic lítill (“little”), Swedish liten, Danish liden, lille, Gothic (leitils), which appear to have a different root vowel. More at lout.

使用する際の注意点
Some authorities regard both littler and littlest as non-standard. The OED says of the word little: "the adjective has no recognized mode of comparison. The difficulty is commonly evaded by resort to a synonym (as smaller, smallest); some writers have ventured to employ the unrecognized forms littler, littlest, which are otherwise confined to dialect or imitations of childish or illiterate speech." The forms lesser and least are encountered in animal names such as lesser flamingo and least weasel.
In the sense of "few," little can be used with or without an article. With the indefinite article, the emphasis is that there is indeed some, albeit not much:
With no article or the definite article (または what), the emphasis is on the scarcity:

- Little disappointed, then, she turned attention to "Chat of the Social World," gossip which exercised potent fascination upon the girl's intelligence.
