单词 minter
释义

mintern.1

Brit. /ˈmɪntə/, U.S. /ˈmɪn(t)ər/
Forms: Old English munetere, Old English mynittre (Northumbrian, perhaps transmission error), Old English mynytere, Old English–early Middle English mynetere, late Old English miniter, late Old English myneter, Middle English meneter (as surname), Middle English moneter, Middle English muneter, Middle English 1600s mynter, 1500s– minter.
Origin: Perhaps of multiple origins. A word inherited from Germanic. Perhaps partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: mint v.2, -er suffix1.
Etymology: Cognate with Middle Dutch munter , monter (also muntenaer ; Dutch munter ), Old High German munizāri , munizzeri (Middle High German münzære , münzer , German (archaic) Münzer ) < classical Latin monētārius person who makes coins < monēta money n. + -ārius -ary suffix1. In Middle English perhaps partly a re-formation < mint v.2 + -er suffix1.In sense 1 frequently used to render classical Latin nummulārius money-changer. Middle English moneter (see quot. a1325 at sense 1) is probably a reborrowing < classical Latin monētārius.
1. A money changer; a moneylender. Obsolete.
