Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   a subtle difference in meaning or opinion or attitude

   Without understanding the finer nuances you can't enjoy the humor.

Borrowed from French nuance (“nuance, shade, hue”). Several steps omitting from Latin nūbēs. Compare typologically Italian sfumatura (< Latin fūmus).
