Etymology of MASTERMIND
The word "mastermind" originated in the late 19th century and is a compound word formed by combining "master" and "mind".
The term "master" comes from Old English "mægester" and has its roots in Latin "magister", meaning "chief, head, leader, or teacher". Over time, "master" came to refer to someone who is highly skilled, knowledgeable, or proficient in a particular field.
The word "mind" has Old English roots as well, derived from "gemynd" or "gemȳnd", meaning "memory, thought, intention", and can also be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "ga-mundi-" which means "to remember".
