"mensonge" meaning in French

See mensonge in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mɑ̃.sɔ̃ʒ/ Audio: Fr-mensonge.ogg Forms: mensonges [plural]
Etymology: Inherited from Middle French mensonge, from Old French mençonge, mençunge, probably from a Vulgar Latin *mentionica, from Late Latin mentiōnem (in the sense of "lie" rather than "mention"), probably formed from haplology of a root *mentītiō, from Latin mentītus, past participle of mentior. Cognate to Occitan messorga, messonja, mensònega; compare also Italian menzogna, Old Galician-Portuguese mensonha, Romansch manzögna and Old French mensoigne, from a different but related root, and Romanian minciună.
