nil 零
縮寫自拉丁語nihil,空無，沒有，來自ne-,沒有，hilum,瑣碎，小東西。即什么都沒有，引申詞義零，空無。
英文詞源
- nil
- nil: [19] Latin nil was a contracted form of nihil ‘nothing’ (source of English nihilism [19]). This in turn was a shortening of an earlier nihilum, a compound formed from the negative particle nī and hīlum ‘small or trivial thing’, and thus denoted etymologically ‘not a jot’.
=> nihilism - nil (n.)
- "nothing," 1833, from Latin nil, contraction of nihil, nihilum "nothing, not at all; in vain," from ne- "not" (see un-) + hilum "small thing, trifle," of unknown origin.
