Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Borrowed directly from Latin, meaning literally 'master of one's mind' (from 'compos', meaning possessing or mastering, and 'mentis', genitive of 'mens', meaning mind). First recorded in legal contexts during the late 16th century, it has survived largely intact as a formal or legal idiom in English to describe mental competence.
