Krupitsa

Krupitsa (крупица in Cyrillic) is a Russian word meaning a small grain, particle, or crumb. It can also refer to a small amount of something, often in an abstract sense, such as a "krupitsa znanij" meaning a grain of knowledge, or a small bit of knowledge. The word is derived from the root "krupa," which refers to groats or grains. Krupitsa is used figuratively to emphasize the insignificance of the quantity.
