Etymology
1. 1541, "branch out," from M.Fr.
ramifier (1314), from M.L.
ramificare, from L.
ramus "branch" (related to
radix "root;" see radish) + root of
facere "to make" (see factitious).
Ramification in literal sense is first recorded 1677, from Fr.; transf. sense of "outgrowth, consequence" first recorded 1755.
2. Borrowed from Middle French ramifier, from Medieval Latin ramificō (“to branch, ramify”), from Latin rāmus (“a branch”) + -ficō (causative suffix). See: Middle French '
ramifier'.
