Talk:Nominal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Etymology

Nominal looks like it derives from the Greek word Nomos=Law [unsigned]

A good guess, but it is from Latin nōmen, "name". (However, I would not be surprised if the Indo-European roots for "name" and "law" had some extremely distant primordial connection, so the apparent cognation that you detected may not be completely false!) — Lumbercutter 15:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
