Etimologia (Inglese)

Disputed.
*Some derive it from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to protrude, to project, to stick out”), making it cognate with emineō (“to project”) and mōns (“mountain”). Possibly from Italic-Celtic *mn̥tolā, if cognate to Irish méadal (“paunch, fat belly”), where "the original meaning of the Irish and Latin words seems to have been 'projecting part of the body'".
*Others favor a connection to mens f (“mind”), from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to think”).
*The form is equivalent to menta (“mint stalk”) + -ula (diminutive suffix) and Cicero uses "mentam pusillam" to obliquely refer to this word when discussing the topic of obscenity. It has been suggested this is its etymology, but Adams 1990 regards this as unlikely.
