determiner (12c.), from L.
determinare "set limits to," from
de- "off" +
terminare "to mark the end or boundary," from
terminus "end, limit." Sense of "coming to a firm decision" (to do something) is from 1450.
Determination "quality of being resolute" is from 1822.
Determinism is 1846 in theology (lack of free will); 1876 in general sense of "the doctrine that everything that happens is determined by a necessary chain of causation."
2. From Middle English determinen, from Old French determiner, French déterminer, from Latin determināre (“to bound, limit, prescribe, fix, determine”), from de + termināre (“to limit”), from terminus (“bound, limit, end”). See: French '
déterminer', Latin '
determino'.
