英语词汇money的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

money. In Roman mythology Juno was the wife of Jupiter and queen of the heavens, the goddess whose prime responsi- bility, among many, was to warn people of dangers. The Ro- mans were so grateful that she had warned them of the Gallic invasion in 344 b.c. that Lucius Furius built a temple to Juno Moneta, as she was called (her last name deriving from the Lat- in word moneo, “warn”), on the Capitoline Hill. Later, the first Roman mint was attached to the temple and Juno Moneta be- came the goddess and guardian of finance. The coins minted there were called moneta, after the goddess, and the word be- came moneai in French, which later became our money. The word mint, a place where money is made, also derives from moneta via the old English mynot. See also mint.
