mote
In contemporary usage, "speck" serves as the modern equivalent of the word "mote." Both terms describe tiny particles or bits, often overlooked yet significant in their context. A "mote" traditionally referred to a small grain or particle, often found in the air, like dust. Similarly, "speck" conveys the idea of something minuscule, whether it's a speck of dirt, a dot of color, or a tiny flaw. While "mote" carries a more archaic tone, "speck" is widely used in everyday language, making it more relatable and accessible, embodying the same essence of smallness and insignificance in various settings.
