Latinwarn, remind, advise; (money branch) coin
About This Root
From Latin monēre (to warn, advise, remind) — to make someone 'mindful.' It gives monitor (one who warns/watches), admonish, monument (a thing that reminds), premonition (a forewarning) and summon (call together). A second branch comes from monēta (coin), a title of the goddess Juno Monēta, 'Juno the Warner,' at whose temple Roman coins were struck — giving money, monetary and monetize.
