full montyn.adj.

Brit.

/ˌfʊl ˈmɒnti/, U.S.

/ˌfʊl ˈmɑnti/

Forms: also with capital initial(s).

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: full adj., an element of unknown origin.

Etymology: < full adj. + a second element of unknown origin.Many suggestions have been made as to the origin of this phrase, but none of them is supported by reliable historical evidence. Perhaps the most plausible is that the second element reflects a colloquial shortening of the name of Montague Maurice Burton (1885–1952), men's tailor, and that the phrase referred originally to the purchase of a complete three-piece suit. Also popular but unsubstantiated is the belief that the phrase is somehow derived < Monty , the nickname of Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery (1887–1976). However, the sheer variety of often vague, purely anecdotal, and mutually contradictory explanations for the connection—ranging from his wartime briefing style to his breakfasting habits—makes this less credible. Other suggestions, including references to monty n. and monte n.¹, are still more speculative.
