Usage Note
Magmintis is the actor-focus form of mintis, used when a shot, throw, or effort fails to hit its mark. It covers both literal misses in sports or shooting and figurative failures to land, and the actor-focus form places the person who missed as the grammatical subject. The root mintis also functions as a noun for the miss itself.
