Etymology

Inherited from Old French: mite

In summary

Inherited from Old French mite, miste (“playful name for cat”) + -aine. See also minet (“cat”) and Provençal mino (“female cat”), both of expressive origin.
Sense 3 is borrowed from English meeting; cf. the sound change in domplaine (“dumpling”).
