Etymology
The verb is first attested in 1613, the adjective in 1654; borrowed from Late Latin prī̆ncipiātus, perfect passive participle of prī̆ncipiō (“to begin to speak, commence”) (see -ate (etymology 1, 2 and 3)), from Latin prī̆ncipium (“beginning, origin; foundation, principle”). With use as noun, compare Latin prī̆ncipiātum (“derivative of a first principle”).

Both the Kingly and Prophetical Offices of Jesus Christ are principiated in this [1654, Edward Leigh, A Systeme or Body of Divinity:]
-
In short, the principles of any science are not proved by the science employing them. Principles are only inadequately and virtually the wholes which they principiate; otherwise, in knowing the principles, the mind would also actually know what is principiated. [1954, Vincent Edward Smith, St. Thomas on the Object of Geometry (The Aquinas Lecture, 1953), Milwaukee, Wis.: Marquette University Press, →OCLC, pages 58–59:]
-
According to Scotus, then, self-change is possible when one and the same thing has a form φ that grounds the active causal potency to cause equivocally another form ψ and is also in passive potency to receive φ. In the language of principles, one and the same thing has an active principle to produce a form it currently lacks and a passive principle of receiving such a form, and these two principles jointly bring about (or “principiate”) the result (In Metaph. 9, q. 14, nn. 84–5).
