Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Philonizare.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin Philonizare to philosophize after the manner of Philo Judaeus (1570 in the passage translated in quot. 1610 at main sense; 1520 in Erasmus as Philonissare ) < Philon- , Philo (see Philonian adj.1) + -izare -ize suffix. Compare Middle French philoniser (1599 or earlier in a translation of the classical proverbial phrase).The proverbial phrase apparently originates in Byzantine Greek: ἢ Πλάτων ϕιλωνίζει ἢ Φίλων πλατωνίζει; compare post-classical Latin aut Plato Philonissat, aut Philo Platonissat (1520 in Erasmus).
Now rare.
