組成From French monétaire, from Latin monētārius, “about money” or “of a mint.” Latin monēta meant a mint (the place that makes coins) and coinage. The Romans kept their chief mint at the Temple of Juno Moneta for centuries, and the name stuck. It is a doublet of minter — two English words that grew from that same older word.
