mentorn.

Brit.

/ˈmɛntɔː/, U.S.

/ˈmɛnˌtɔr/,

/ˈmɛn(t)ər/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French mentor.

Etymology: < French mentor (1735 in sense 2 in a book title, 1739 in sense ‘guide, adviser’) < Mentor, the name of a character in F. de S. de la Mothe-Fénelon's Les Aventures de Télémaque (1699), after ancient Greek Μέντωρ, the name of a character in the Odyssey, in whose likeness Athena appears to Telemachus and acts as his guide and adviser. Compare German Mentor (1725 in sense ‘court tutor, adviser’ in a book title), Italian mentore (a1789), Spanish mentor (1785 in a book title). N.E.D. (1906) notes that the emphasis Fénelon places on the role of Mentor as a counsellor is key to the currency of this word in English and French. Fénelon's work was one of the most popular political novels of its time, and had been translated into English by 1699–1700, German by 1700, and Italian by 1719: numerous English adaptations in prose, verse, and drama appeared in the course of the 18th cent., including a translation by Smollett. The ancient Greek name is recorded as a historical personal name in the 4th cent. It may be cognate with mind n.¹

a. Originally (in form Mentor): a person who acts as guide and adviser to another person, esp. one who is younger and less experienced. Later, more generally: a person who offers support and guidance to another; an experienced and trusted counsellor or friend; a patron, a sponsor.
