Superseded as adj. beginning 13c. by my. 2. mine (n.) c.1300, from O.Fr. mine, probably from a Celtic source (cf. Welsh mwyn, Ir. mein "ore, mine"), from O.Celt. *meini-. Italy and Greece were relatively poor in minerals, thus they did not contribute a word for this to Eng., but there was extensive mining from an early date in Celtic lands (Cornwall, etc.). The verb meaning "to dig in a mine" is from c.1300. 3. mine (v.) "lay explosives," 1620s, in reference to old tactic of tunneling under enemy fortifications to blow them up; from mine (n.). The sense of "to dig under foundations to undermine them" is from late 14c., and miner in this sense is attested from late 13c.
