• adj. 虛假的；說謊的

來自拉丁語mendax,撒謊，欺騙，來自mens,思想，思考，詞源同mind,mania.其詞義引申來自語言的詞義轉(zhuǎn)移現(xiàn)象，即經(jīng)過思考后想出來的謊言。也有觀點認(rèn)為來自mendicare,乞討，詞源同mendicant.即為了討要而撒的謊言。

mendacious (adj.)

1610s, from Middle French mendacieux, from Latin mendacium "a lie, untruth, falsehood, fiction," from mendax (genitive mendacis) "lying, deceitful," from menda "fault, defect, carelessness in writing," from PIE root *mend- "physical defect, fault" (see amend (v.)). The sense evolution of Latin mendax was influenced by mentiri "to speak falsely, lie, deceive." Related: Mendaciously; mendaciousness.
