Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Formed in English by affixation, combining the native prefix 'un-' (meaning not) with 'biblical', which derives from the Late Latin 'biblicus' and the Greek 'biblia'. The term emerged in post-Reformation religious discourse to describe doctrines or practices contrary to scriptural authority.
