中英词源

mention 提到，提及

来自拉丁文mens,思考，思想，记忆，词源同mind,mania.引申词义想起，提到，提及。

mention: mention: [14] The etymological notion underlying mention is of ‘reminding’. For it comes via Old French from Latin mentiō, which originally meant ‘remembrance’ (it was a derivative of the Indo-European base *men-, which also produced English memory, remember, etc). It developed via ‘cause to remember something by speaking or writing of it’ (a sense still present in Middle English) to simply ‘refer to something’.
=> memory, mind, remember
mention (n.): c. 1300, "a note, reference," from Old French mencion "mention, memory, speech," from Latin mentionem (nominative mentio) "a calling to mind, a speaking of, a making mention," from root of Old Latin minisci "to think," related to mens (genitive mentis) "mind," from PIE root *men- (1) "think" (see mind (n.)).
mention (v.): 1520s, from mention (n.) or else from Middle French mentionner, from Old French mencion. Related: Mentioned; mentioning; mentionable. Don"t mention it as a conventional reply to expressions of gratitude or apology is attested from 1840.
