MEN'TION, noun [Latin mentio, from Gr. to put in mind; Latin moneo and mind.] A hint; a suggestion; a brief notice or remark expressed in words or writing; used chiefly after make. Make no mention of other gods. Joshua 23:7. I will make mention of thy righteousness. Psalms 71:16. Without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers. Romans 1:9. MEN'TION, verb transitive To speak; to name; to utter a brief remark; to state a particular fact, or to express it in writing. It is applied to something thrown in or added incidentally in a discourse or writing, and thus differs from the sense of relate, recite, and narrate. I mentioned to him a fact that fell under my own observation. In the course of conversation, that circumstance was mentioned. I will mention the loving-kindness of the Lord. Isaiah 63:7.
