Usage Notes or Etymology
The term monotransitive originates from the Greek word monos meaning 'one' or 'single' and the Latin word transitivus meaning 'passing over' or 'crossing'. In linguistics, specifically syntax, this term is used to classify verb types based on the number of object arguments they require. Monotransitive verbs only allow one direct object, unlike bitransitive verbs which require two objects (direct and indirect) and intransitive verbs which require no objects at all.
