Something that is worth something but is not money yet — a bond, a bar of silver, a room full of people watching a video — and a hand that completes the last step, so that now it is money.
可以想成手上有一樣東西，它有價值，但還不是錢：一張債券、一塊白銀、一群每週都來看影片的人。monetize 就是補上最後一步，讓它變成錢。字根 monēta（鑄幣）正好說明這個動作。
From the word’s history
From French monétiser, from Latin monēta (coin, mint) plus a suffix meaning to make into. The literal reading — make it into money — still describes every use.
來自法文 monétiser，字根是拉丁文 monēta（錢幣、鑄幣廠），加上表示「使變成」的字尾。字面的「使變成錢」到今天仍然說得通。
