question
meaning
What is the しき particle?
According to デジタル大辞泉, this しき is a particle that attaches only あれ, それ and これ.
It's used to make light of something, similarly to くらい/など/なぞ.

Many examples are listed
[here](http://yourei.jp/%E3%81%9D%E3%82%8C%E3%81%97%E3%81%8D%E3%81%AE%E3%81%93%E3%81%A8).
This しき is slightly literary, and people more commonly use たったこれだけ, たかがそれだけ,
あの程度, etc., in conversation.

Because this "particle" can attach only three words, it may be better to
remember あれしき, それしき and これしき as separate words. That's how jisho.org treats
these words ([あれしき](http://jisho.org/word/%E5%BD%BC%E5%BC%8F),
[それしき](http://jisho.org/word/%E3%81%9D%E3%82%8C%E5%BC%8F),
[これしき](http://jisho.org/word/%E6%AD%A4%E3%82%8C%E5%BC%8F)).
