Yesterday’s word
The word onymous means “bearing the author’s name; named”
First usage
Our word came into English in the late 1700s
Background / Comments
Our word is what’s called a “back-formation”; I presume most of us know the anonymous. Well, our word was created from the older (over 150 years older) word “anonymous” by removing the “an-” (not), leaving onymous, which came from the Greek word onyma (name). This is a clear illustration of a back-formation.
