Forms: 1600s pronominall, 1600s– pronominal.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Perhaps also partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin pronominalis ; pro- prefix¹, nominal adj.

Compare Italian pronominale (1551), French pronominal (1714), both adjectives in grammatical use. In sense A. 1 perhaps independently < pro- prefix¹ + nominal adj.
