The least amount a person might give

ONE IOTA

Think of the smallest possible measure in Greek or a phrase meaning "not even a tiny bit" when someone refuses to budge.

This clue plays on the idea of giving the absolute minimum. "The least amount" hints at the smallest possible quantity, which is "one." The second part, "a person might give," refers to the phrase "not one iota," meaning not even the tiniest bit—so "iota" represents that smallest measure. Together, "one iota" literally means the smallest amount someone could offer.
