Étymologie (Anglais)

Borrowed from Middle French minatoire, from Late Latin minātōrius, from Latin minor, minārī (“to threaten, speak or act menacingly, hold out the threat of”, verbal derivative of minae, plural only, "threats, menaces, portents of evil") + -tōrius, deverbal adjective suffix originally forming derivatives from agent nouns ending in -tōr-, -tor; minae probably, if originally "projecting points, overhang," noun derivative of the verbal base *men- seen in ēminēre (“to stick out, protrude”), of uncertain origin.
Cognate to menace.
