The English word 'menace' is unrelated to the Latin word 'minere'. For the English word refers to a threat, and the Latin verb refers to being suspended, overhanging, or projecting. But the word is related to the Latin verb minari, which literally means 'to jut out' or 'to project'. But it also can mean 'to menace' or 'to threaten'. And that verb comes into the English language by way of the French word 'menace'.
