Английский Этимологический словарь - money

- c.1250, from O.Fr. moneie, from L. moneta "mint, coinage," from Moneta, a title of the Roman goddess Juno, in or near whose temple money was coined; perhaps from monere "advise, warn," in the sense of "admonishing goddess," which is sensible, but the etymology is difficult. Moneybags "rich person" is from 1818; money-grub "one who is sordidly intent on amassing money" is from 1768.
