money

money
\ \ [13] An epithet used in ancient Rome for the goddess Juno was Monēta (derived by some etymologists in the past from the Latin verb monēreadvise, warn’, although this is now regarded as rather dubious). The name was also applied to her temple in Rome, which contained a mint. And so in due course monēta came to meanmint’ (a sense retained in English mint, which goes back via a circuitous route to monēta), thenstamp for coining’, and finallycoin’ – the meaning transmitted via Old French moneie to English money.
\ \ Cf.MINT
