from Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution · host Liam Connerly

Anonymity - the state of being anonymous or unknown. It comes from the Greek word "anonymos" which means "without a name". Pseudonym - a fictitious name used by an author to conceal their identity. It comes from the Greek words "pseudēs" meaning "false" and "onoma" meaning "name". Incognito - in a disguised or anonymous state. It comes from the Latin phrase "incognito" which means "unknown" or "unrecognized". Unidentified - not recognized or known. It comes from the Latin word "identificare" which means "to identify". Nameless - without a name or unknown. It comes from the Old English word "nama" which means "name". Faceless - without a recognizable face or identity. It comes from the Old English word "fǣhth" which means "face". Nominal - actual definition: existing in name only, not in reality; etymological definition: from Latin "nominalis," meaning "of or belonging to a name" Denomination - actual definition: a religious group or organization; etymological definition: from Latin "denominatio," meaning "a calling by name" Nomenclature - actual definition: a system of names used in a particular field or subject; etymological definition: from French "nomenclature," ultimately from Latin "nomenclatura," meaning "the assigning of names" Pronoun - actual definition: a word that replaces a noun in a sentence; etymological definition: from Latin "pronomen," meaning "a word that takes the place of a noun" Ignominy - actual definition: public shame or disgrace; etymological definition: from Latin "ignominia," meaning "a loss of one's good name" "Antonym" comes from the Greek words "anti," meaning "opposite," and "onyma," meaning "name." So, antonym literally means "opposite name." It refers to words that have opposite meanings, like hot and cold. "Synonym" comes from the Greek words "syn," meaning "together," and "onyma," meaning "name." So, synonym literally means "together name." It refers to words that have the same or similar meanings, like big and large. "Homonym" comes from the Greek words "homo," meaning "same," and "onyma," meaning "name." So, homonym literally means "same name." It refers to words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings, like "bat" (an animal) and "bat" (a sports equipment).
