monetary

The word "monetary" directly descends from the Latin monetarius, meaning "pertaining to a mint or money." This Latin term is derived from Moneta, a title for the Roman goddess Juno, in whose temple money was coined. The literal sense of "coinage" or "mint" associated with the goddess evolved into the general concept of "money." The suffix -ary, indicating "related to," was attached to form an adjective, giving English the term for anything concerning the system or supply of money in an economy.

Structure: monet (money) + ary (adjective suffix) monet (from Latin moneta, meaning "mint, money; a warning") and ary (a suffix forming adjectives, from Latin -arius).
