Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term 'nobody' originates from the combination of 'no' and 'body', first recorded in the early 16th century. It evolved from the Middle English 'nobodie', which itself was derived from the Old English 'nān' (none) and 'bōdī' (body), reflecting a negation of existence or presence.
