Surface Forms

monet singular

monets plural

Morphology

monet = money (semi-transparent) = money + et

Form and meaning are clearly built on 'money' with a small '-et' coinage; the suffix is not a highly productive English derivational morpheme, so the exact nuance ('small unit' or branded currency) is partly arbitrary.

Etymology

Monet comes from the old Latin word moneta, which meant 'coin' and gave us the English words money and monetary. So a monet in a game is like a small 'coin' or unit of digital money you use to buy things.
