Etymology
From a crossing of Latin mentiō, mentiōnem with mentīri, probably through a Vulgar Latin *mentionia, or from Late Latin mentiō (“lie”), probably from a hypothetical *mentītiō from mentītus, past participle of mentior (“I lie, deceive; I pretend, feign”). Compare Italian menzogna, Old French mensoigne.
