This was formed with the prefix prō- ‘forwards, out’ and -minēre ‘project’, a verbal element which also lies behind English eminent and imminent [16]. It was derived from *min- ‘project’, a base which also gave English menace and may be related ultimately to Latin mōns ‘mountain’ (source of English mount and mountain). Combination of prō- and mōns itself produced Latin prōmunturium ‘headland’, ancestor of English promontory [16].=> eminent, imminent, menace
