Etymology: < Middle French, French nuncupatif declared orally (1416; 1308 in Old French as noncupatif ; 1611 as noncupatif in sense ‘nominal’) and its etymon post-classical Latin nuncupativus declared orally (13th cent. in testamentum nuncupativum ; from mid 15th cent. in British sources), nominal, so-called (c360), designative (from early 12th cent. in British sources) < classical Latin nuncupāt- , past participial stem of nuncupāre nuncupate v. + -īvus -ive suffix. Compare Italian nuncupativo (13th cent.), Spanish nuncupativo (1734), Portuguese nuncupativo (1781). N.E.D.
