Definition & Meaning of "wee"in English

What does "wee" mean in Scottish and Northern English slang?

The structure is a simple adjective of uncertain origin, possibly from Old English "wēg" (weight) or from Old Norse "vægja" (to move), but firmly established in Northern British dialects. It is used in Scotland, Northern England, Ireland, and parts of Canada to mean very small in size or a small amount. People typically say "A wee bit of sugar" or "That's a wee dog" or "I'll be there in a wee minute."
