† mensaln.¹adj.²

Forms: late Middle English–1500s mensall, 1800s mensal.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin mēnsis , -al suffix¹.

Etymology: < classical Latin mēnsis month (see menses n.) + -al suffix¹. With use as noun perhaps compare post-classical Latin mensalis (829 as noun in sense ‘monthly purveyance’ in a continental source), variant of mensualis (see mensual adj.), though the English use as noun may well be an independent formation after terms for books and written records in -al , e.g. memorial n., missal n.¹, gradual n., etc. Compare mensual adj. N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (me·nsăl) /ˈmɛnsəl/.

Obsolete.

A. n.¹

A monthly account.
