from From Latin nominare, 'to name,' built from nomen, 'name.' It passed through French into English in the 1400s–1500s carrying the same job it does now: to call someone out by name for a role, a post, or a prize — centuries before that prize came with a red carpet and a losing face rehearsed in the mirror.
