Etymology

A picayune (no K) is an old Spanish term that means "of little value" and to be "trivial". This association is derived from the coin of the same name, which was used from the 1700's to the mid 1800's in both Spain and the colonial United States until it lost it's legal tender status in the latter country in 1857.
