Usage notes
In most classical Latin, the ablative singular mente was used with a feminine adjective to form a phrasal adverb that expressed a person's state of mind, such as v?l?c? mente (“quick-mindedly, with a quick mind”):
- 1st century BCE, Catullus, poem 8, line 11:
- 29-19 BCE, Virgil, Aenid, book 4, line 105:
In Late Latin, this construction began to be extended to other adjectives and uses as well, and in Vulgar Latin and the later Romance languages, it became a general adverbial suffix.
- 8th century, Reichenau Glosses:
Declension
Third-declension noun (i-stem).
