History
Contraction.
From French nome, from Ancient Greek νομός (nomós, “district”), from νέμω (némō, “to divide”). Doublet of nomos.
From Ancient Greek νόμος (nómos), from νέμω (némō, “to divide”). Differs from Etymology 1 in the position of Ancient Greek accent, though from the same root. Doublet of nomos and namus.
The sense "term" is from French -nôme, second element of binôme etc., again from Ancient Greek νομός (nomós) here in its sense "division". The name of the special function may be identical or may be an independent borrowing from the Greek.
