Moneyとは意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Middle English moneye, moneie, money, borrowed from Anglo-Norman muneie (“money”), from Latin monēta (“money, a place for coining money, coin, mint”), from the name of the temple of Juno Moneta in Rome, where a mint was.

In this sense, displaced native 古期英語 feoh, whence English fee. Doublet of mint, ultimately from the same Latin word but through Germanic and 古期英語, and of manat, through Russian and Azeri or Turkmen.
