'Mite' has been used in English since the Old English period, while 'informed' evolved from the Latin 'informare' through Old French 'enformer'.

Initially, 'mite' referred to a small creature or particle, and 'informed' meant 'to shape or form'. Together, 'mite-informed' suggests having a small amount of information.
