In Latin there was the noun monstrum with the meaning "warning from the gods". It did not refer to just any warning, such as one might think to receive during a dream or nightmare. No; it was an announcement, a warning, of something remarkable to come, linked to a phenomenon outside the regular order of nature, such as the birth of a two-headed child or a deformed animal. Such monsters, a sign of bad omens, were usually hidden for life, at best. Another part of etymology thinks that the word monster comes from the Latin monstrare, to show, to inform, to expose... But monsters do not limit themselves to showing something: they warn of the supernatural, of the future and, in short, of the will of the gods, against which we can do nothing.
