monetar

Monetar is a rarely used adjective that is historically related to money. In modern English, the established term is monetary, and monetar is not commonly accepted as a standard word.

Etymology and relation to monetary: Monetar derives from the Latin monetarius, meaning pertaining to money, via the French monétaire and related Romance-language variants. In English, the form is largely obsolete or confined to historical texts, and it is not part of the contemporary technical vocabulary.

Usage: Most contemporary dictionaries do not list monetar as a standalone term. When it appears, it is usually a misspelling, a non-English loanword, or a vestige of older usage. In economics, the familiar terms are monetary policy, monetarism, and monetarist, which address the role of money in the economy, rather than a distinct word monetar.

Proper nouns: Monetar may occur as a surname or place name in some contexts, but such uses are uncommon and not widely documented in mainstream references.
