The shows were performed by mostly white actors in blackface makeup who portrayed racial stereotypes of African Americans in a comedic way. The term "minstrel" comes from the Old French word ménestrel, which is derived from the Italian word ministerello, and then from the Middle Latin word ministralis, which means "retainer". Ministralis is also the adjective form of the Latin word minister, which means "attendant," and minus, which means "lesser".
