Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of the English noun 'noun' (from Middle English noune, from Anglo-Norman noun, from Latin nōmen) and 'phrase' (from French phrase, from Late Latin phrasis, from Greek phrasis 'diction, speech'). It emerged in modern structural linguistics to describe a syntactic unit built around a noun head.
