mentor

From French mentor, from Ancient Greek Μέντωρ (Méntōr, “Mentor”), a mythological character in the Odyssey, whose name, a historical name from Ancient Greece, may share the same root as English mind.[1] Akin to Sanskrit मन्तृ (mantṛ, “one who thinks”) and Latin monitor (“one who admonishes”), and perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mon-eyo-, causative form of *men- (“to think”).[2]
