Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin anonymus, originating from the Ancient Greek anōnymos meaning 'without a name' (from an- 'without' + onyma, a dialectal form of ónyma 'name'). The noun suffix -ity was later added in English during the 17th century to denote the state or quality of being nameless.
