Etymology
1. From Italian nullo (“no, not any; null”) or French nul (“no, no one”), from Middle French nul (“nobody; no one”), from Old French nul (“nobody; no one”), both from Latin nūllus (“no one, none, not any”), from Proto-Italic *ne oinolos, from Proto-Italic *oinos (“one”), from Proto-Indo-European *óynos, perhaps from *éy (“he, she, it”) + *-nós (creates verbal adjectives).
2. The interjection, noun and pronoun are all derived from the numeral itself. See: Italian Nouns '
nullo', French Nouns '
nul', Latin Nouns '
nūllus'.
