Government vs. governmente:
The issue of seeing ment/mente as a suffix is a bit of a slap in the face because the only use of government is to control the mind. The mente is Latin for mind, like "meant". Some try to confuse the 'mente' with the suffix ment, but, in the political sense, there is no application for governing (steering/controlling) others outside the human mind.

Many words have a suffix ment. However, in middle and old English government was "govern-mente". See this Google book search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22govern-mente%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&a...


The Oxford English dictionary (OED) defines government as: 1) The action of governing (see senses of the vb.). a.1.a The action of ruling; continuous exercise of authority over the action of subjects or inferiors; authoritative direction or regulation; control, rule.

2) The manner in which one's action is governed. a.2.a In physical sense: Management of the limbs or body; movements, demeanour; also, habits of life, regimen. b.2.b In moral sense: Conduct, behaviour; becoming conduct, discretion.

Main Forms of the Latin word "mind": Mens, Mentis Gender: Feminine Declension: Third Singular Plural Nominative Mens Mentes Genitive Mentis Mentum Dative Menti Mentibus Accusative Mentem Mentes Ablative Mente Mentibus Vocative Mens Mentes To control "the mind" is ablative singular, therefore, mente.

OED: [Com. WGer.: OE. mǽnan = OFris. mêna to signify, OS. mênian to intend, signify, make known (MLG., MDu. mênen, mod.Du. meenen), OHG. meinen to have in mind (hence also, to love), to intend, signify, make known, mention (MHG. and mod.G. meinen, now chiefly, to have in one's mind, to hold or express an opinion); cf. the compounds, OS. gimênian to make known, OHG. gemeinen to proclaim, show forth, bimeinen to decree, destine, dedicate (whence bimeinida testament).

OED: Forms: 1 mǽnan, 3 mæinen, 3--7 mene, meane, 4 men, meen, 4--5 meene, 4--6 meine, Sc. meyn(e, 5 menne, 6--7 mein, 6-- mean. pa. tense. α. 1 mǽnde, 3 mende, 4 meenede, mennede, 4--5 mened, 4--6 Sc. menit, -yt, 5 menyd, 6 Sc. meynd, meind, me(i)nit, 6--9 meaned, (6 Sc. -it); β. 4--5 mente, 4--7 ment, 6-- meant. pa. pple. α. 1 (ᴁe)mǽned, 5 meened, 6--9 meaned; β. 4--5 yment, 5 imente, imeynt; 4--5 mente, 4--7 ment, 6-- meant.

"Mente" is Latin noun for mind.

  • Jan, you have to slow down! I had this same problem when I took a course on Public Speaking. I gave out a ton of info and spoke at a rapid pace. Most people were not able to process the majority of the info. Either than that, superb lecture.

  • @leonpimpz That's the problem. I couldn't slow down. I needed way more time but to effectively present what needed to be presented - we had to get it all in in the 50 minutes we had. Had they cut a couple hucksters from the event there would have been more time for real material. I wasn't told of the time restrictions until a week before.

  • That was a reading. Not a lecture.

  • Chambers Dictionary of Etymology starts:

    Quote:

    -ment a suffix forming nouns, especially from the verbs, and meaning act or process of _____ing, as in enjoyment; condition of being _____ed, as in amazement; product or result of _____ing, as in pavement; means or instrument that _____s, as in inducement.

  • @GnosticMedia I would really love more lectures on this topic where you are, indeed, granted more time to speak. I value your efforts and thank you.

  • Jan, you make me want to use Adderall.

  • one of the greek philosophers said to read ur knowledge is to look stupd, of sumpin

  • Jan's great!

  • Be more prepared. Why read from the presentation directly .. just hit the high spots.

  • @HitfulVids From the OED: 1) The action of governing (see senses of the vb.). a.1.a The action of ruling; continuous exercise of authority over the action of subjects or inferiors; authoritative direction or regulation; control, rule.

    2) The manner in which one's action is governed. a.2.a In physical sense: Management of the limbs or body; movements, demeanour; also, habits of life, regimen. b.2.b In moral sense: Conduct, behaviour; becoming conduct, discretion. Obs.

  • @HitfulVids Absolutely. But first I ask you to please explain what, other than the human mind, government is supposed to steer or control (in the political sense)? Then I'll happily dig up further references. In my opinion, the presupposed suffix "ment" is more like a slap in the obvious face when it comes to "govern-ment/e".

  • @GnosticMedia I found nothing in Old English, but some Middle English. The oldest mention I could find was "governmente of poultrie" - the mind control of poultry?? I also saw a few uses of "governmente" with the modern meaning, though "governance" was more common. Can you provide one example of the word being used with the meaning of mind control? Otherwise, common sense would suggest that it came from the Old French "governement" and means "govern" + "-ment" as the mainstream sources claim.
