Verb

IPA: /ˈmen.ti.or/ [Classical], [ˈmɛn̪t̪iɔr] [Classical], /ˈmen.t͡si.or/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈmɛnt̪͡s̪ior] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *mentjōr, denominal verb from mēns, mentis (“mind”). The meaning "to lie" stems from a semantic shift "to be inventive, have second thoughts" > "to lie, conjure up". Compare comminīscor also from this root and again with these meanings.
