Nguồn gốc từ

The adjective is 1450, in Middle English, the verb in 1545; partly from Middle English nominat(e) (named, designated), from Latin nōminātus, perfect passive participle of nōminō (to name) (see -ate), from nōmen (a name). Participial usage of the adjective up until Early Modern English.
