I don't know for sure, but I have assumed that it comes from the Latin "lentus," meaning slow, or sluggish. Lente insulin is absorbed slowly, and has a prolonged effect. "Lento" is a musical term indicating "slowly."

A bolus insulin does it means some rapid insulin mixed with a lente one?
A bolus of insulin refers to the dose you take to cover food you've eaten with short acting insulin. As opposed to the basal dose, which is the dose you take once or twice a day (or if you're on a pump, the amount set to go in per hour) that is constant throughout the day. The bolus is usually carbohydrate based (ex. 1 unit per 10 grams of carbs) and so it varies.
