nomadn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈnəʊmad/, U.S.

/ˈnoʊˌmæd/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin Nomad-, Nomas.

Etymology: < classical Latin Nomad-, Nomas member of a wandering pastoral tribe < ancient Greek νομαδ- , νομάς < νομός pasturage (see nome n.²) + -άς -ad suffix¹. Compare Italian nomade (a1494; earlier in plural: see nomades n.), Spanish nómada (1549; earlier in plural: see nomades n.), nómade (a1379). Compare earlier nomades n., and also nomade n.In quot. 1587 at sense A. after Middle French nomades, plural of nomade (1540 in Middle French as noun, 1552 as adjective). N.E.D. (1907) records pronunciations (nǫ·mæ̆d) /ˈnɒmæd/, (nō^u·mæ̆d) /ˈnəʊmæd/. The former pronunciation with short vowel in the first syllable is also noted by several 19th-cent. sources including Smart (1836), Worcester (1859), and Stormonth (1884). Webster (1934) describes it as ‘esp[ecially] Brit[ish]’, and it is retained as a variant pronunciation in D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict. until the 1977 edition.

A member of a people that travels from place to place to find fresh pasture for its animals, and has no permanent home. Also (in extended use): an itinerant person; a wanderer. Cf. nomade n. rare before 19th cent.
