Etymology
Minți is the second person singular present of a minți, from Latin mentiri, "to lie, invent falsely." Latin mentiri is traditionally linked to mens, mentis, "mind," carrying the sense of fabricating something in one's own head. The same Latin verb passed into other Romance languages with the same core meaning.
