mente

/ˈmente/ · A2 · noun · f

thinker

🧠 mente = the ment- in mental and mention; Latin mens, mentis (mind)

English mental comes from the same Latin root, mens/mentis. Bonus hook: Spanish adverbs end in -mente (lentamente, claramente) because they originally meant with a slow mind, with a clear mind. Every -mente adverb repeats the word.
