Etimologia (Anglès)

Arguably taken from Latin mēnsa (“table”); it is thought that medieval monks used the names of inanimate objects in disparaging reference to illiterate or non‐discerning people, partially out of a desire to not use an explicitly pejorative insult as would be forbidden by their canons.
