Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin prōminent-, prōminēns.

Etymology: < classical Latin prōminent-, prōminēns projecting, prominent, also (neuter noun) protruding or projecting part, uses as adjective and noun of present participle of prōminēre to project, stick out < prō- pro- prefix¹ + -minēre (see note; compare eminent adj., imminent adj.). Compare Middle French, French prominent (1548; now archaic; the more usual French word is proéminent (1542)), Spanish prominente (a1500 or earlier), Portuguese prominente (1663; the more usual Portuguese word is proeminente (1881)), Italian prominente (a1494).The second element of the classical Latin verb belongs to a group of cognate classical Latin words referring to projection, jutting, and threatening: these include mentum chin (see mentum n.), minae threats (see minacious adj.), and mōns mount n.¹ With the specific use in sense B. 1a compare German Prominenter prominent person (1908).
