Though actually, maxi is the long twin of mini. Mini was cut down from minimum, "the smallest." People then built maxi the other way from maximum, "the greatest," so clothes had a short version and a long one.

Though actually不過其實 maxi maxi is是 the long twin of mini mini的長版雙胞胎 Mini mini was cut down from minimum, "the smallest"是從minimum「最小」截短來的 People人們 then built maxi the other way後來反過來造出maxi from maximum, "the greatest"從maximum「最大」 so於是 clothes衣服 had a short version and a long one就有了短版和長版
