The entry monster in The New Webster Dictionary reads as follows: ‘A plant or animal of abnormal structure or greatly different from the usual type; an animal exhibiting malformation in important parts; a person looked upon with horror on account of extraordinary crimes, deformity, or power to do harm; an imaginary creature, such as the sphinx, mermaid, etc.’ ‘Monster’ entered English in late medieval times from the old French term monstre, which in its turn originated from the Latin root monstrum. The Latin word is derived from the root of 'monere', which means ‘to warn.’ Related to this primary meaning, monere is thought to be also referring to ‘that which teaches’ or ‘that which instructs.’ The latter connotation forms the basis of the current English word 'demonstrate', which is used interchangeably with "to point out, indicate, show or prove."
