Borrowed from Ecclesiastical Latin cardinālātus, from cardinālis (“cardinal”) + -ātus, itself the noun use of an adjective derived from cardō (“hinge, main point”) + -ālis (“-al”). By surface analysis, cardinal + -ate (forms nouns denoting rank or office).

First attested in 1587; from cardinal + -ate (verb-forming suffix).
