Etymology
Mințit is the past participle of a minți, meaning to lie. The verb comes from Latin mentiri, to lie or deceive, itself built on mens, mentis, meaning mind. The sense shifted from mind, to what one has in mind, to making up a false account. Romanian kept the verb from spoken Latin, alongside its Romance sisters.
