Etymology
1. c.1330, "to utter, declare officially," from O.Fr.
pronuncier (1277), from L.L.
pronunciare, from L.
pronuntiare "to proclaim, announce, pronounce," from
pro- "forth, out, in public" +
nuntiare "announce," from
nuntius "messenger." With ref. to the mode of sounding words or languages, it is attested from c.1620 (but cf.
pronunciation in this sense 1430).
Pronounced, with the fig. meaning "emphatic," first attested c.1730.
2. Recorded since c.1330 as Middle English pronouncen (“to utter, declare officially”), from Old French prononcier, from Latin prōnūntiō, itself from prō- (“forth, out, in public”) + nūntiō (“to announce”) from nūntius (“messenger”). See: Middle English '
pronouncen', Old French '
prononcier', Latin '
prōnūntiō'.
