OriginMiddle English: from Old French moneie, from Latin moneta 'mint, money', originally a title of the goddess Juno, in whose temple in Rome money was minted. In ancient Rome money was coined in a temple to the goddess Juno, where she was identified with a pre-Roman goddess called Moneta and known as Juno Moneta. Latin moneta has come down to English as money, and also as mint. Money is the root of all evil comes from the biblical Book of Timothy, where it is stated more carefully that ‘the love of money is the root of all evil’. People down the ages have agreed that money can't buy happiness, though this exact form appeared only in the 19th century. In 1964 the Beatles sang that ‘Money can't buy me love’. In Britain money gained with little effort is money for jam or money for old rope (see rope). These expressions, dating back to the early 20th century, probably originated in military slang. In 1919 The Athenaeum stated that money for jam came from the ‘great use of jam in the Army’. See also colour, load, muck
