etymology_text:
Formed as a present participle of sum (“to be”) in Medieval Latin (and therefore unknown in the Classical period) by using the bare present participial ending -ēns of second and third conjugation verbs, as an analogy to the Ancient Greek present participle ὤν (ṓn) which falsely appears to be the same bare suffix but etymologically corresponds to sōns, both from *h₁es- (“to be”). See also essentia for a similar formation.
The original present participle sōns had taken on the meaning "guilty" in the Classical period, but the still productive combining form sēns present in the verbs absum (absēns (“absent”)) and praesum (praesēns (“present”)) was ignored in creating this form.

decades

text: For decades American politicians have assumed that mass incarceration works, wooing voters with ever-tougher sentencing laws. The dramatic fall in crime since the 1990s has persuaded many that they were right. Locking up the worst criminals while they are young, fit and dangerous clearly makes America safer. But keeping sad cases[…]incarcerated past pensionable age serves little purpose. Prison has diminishing returns, and America long ago passed the point where jailing more people makes sense.

English denominative
From Late Latin dēnōminātīvus, a calque of Ancient Greek παρώνυμος (parṓnumos, “derivative”). It originally had the meaning “derived”, but in its grammatical sense, it has developed the meaning “from a noun”, perhaps a reinterpretation of the Latin morphemes that it consists of: the preposition dē (“from”) and the stem of nōmen (“name, noun”).

multiversal

text: If the Universe is a true multiversal continuum, in contradistinction to the synechistic continuum) then it is not homogeneous of any one particular conceptual or biological series thruout; it would be heterogeneous, to be sure, but not necessarily discordant or conflicting, it would be knowable severally rather than wholly, each to each rather than all to all.

text: The Originators, creators of the multiversal seeding ground for their successors.

ref: 1963 May, Michael Moorcock, “The Blood Red Game”, in Science Fiction Adventures, volume 6, number 32, London: Nova Publications:

text: The edge appears as a boundary of razor-sharp obsidian glass with a hazy gray area of nothingness extending a few feet beyond it. This gray, a strain on the eyes, should look familiar to any player character accustomed to multiversal travel; this is the nothingness between the planes of reality.

ref: 1980, TSR, Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition, page 52:

text: ‘Not by such a name.” Buglet shook her head. ‘She was trying to design a new sort of being, greater than the stargods, with a better control of the multiversal environment and a stronger love for all the older races. But she had to rush her work, because she was afraid the jealous young gods would try to wreck it, to defend their own supremacy.

ref: 1981, Jack Williamson, Brother to Demons, Brother to Gods, Sphere Books, →ISBN, page 22:

text: How many fashions in insanity, do you think, have been set by mentally disturbed temporal adventures? We shall never know! ’ She laughed. ‘Captain Bastable, for instance, was an inadvertent traveller (it sometimes happens), and was on the borders of madness before we were able to rescue him. First one finds it is the future which does not correspond, and this is frightening enough, if you are not expecting it. But it is worse when you return - to discover that your past has changed. You two, I take it, are fixed to a single band. Count yourselves lucky, if you do not know what to expect of multiversal time-travelling.’

text: The music video for Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia,” in which the star steps out of a Pre-Raphaelite painting and proceeds to clip through space and time, taking on different guises along the way, is meant to be a confident visual statement of the Swift franchise’s multiversal power[…].
