Etimologia (Inglese)

In summary

Inherited from Middle French mensonge, from Old French mençonge, mençunge, probably from a Vulgar Latin *mentionica, from Late Latin mentiōnem (in the sense of "lie" rather than "mention"), probably formed from haplology of a root *mentītiō, from Latin mentītus, past participle of mentior. Cognate to Occitan messorga, messonja, mensònega; compare also Italian menzogna, Old Galician-Portuguese mensonha, Romansch manzögna and Old French mensoigne, from a different but related root, and Romanian minciună.
