Mincing

means to cut or chop something into very small pieces. It's like when you are making salsa and you have to mince the onions and tomatoes really finely so they mix well together. It's a way of preparing food by making it into tiny little parts. So, when you mince something, you are basically cutting it up into really small pieces, like when you're making a recipe and it calls for minced garlic, you have to chop it up really small. But "mincing" can also mean something else. It can also mean when someone walks in a very dainty or delicate way, like they are taking really small steps and being careful not to step too hard. It's like when you're walking on a path full of rocks and you have to take tiny steps to not trip. So, "mincing" can have two meanings: one for food, and one for the way someone walks. It's important to know which one is being used depending on the context of the sentence. And I hope this explanation helps you understand the word a little better!
