Word Origin & History

menstrual 
1398, from O.Fr. menstruel, from L. menstrualis "monthly," especially "of or having monthly courses," from menstruus "of menstruation, monthly," from mensis "month" (see menses). Menstruation first attested 1776; O.E. equivalent was monaðblot "month-blood." Verb menstruate (1800) probably is a back-formation.
