Etymology of NOT PRESENT
The word "not present" does not have a specific etymology, as it is simply a combination of the negative form "not" and the adjective "present". "Not" is derived from the Old English word "nāht", meaning "nothing" or "not anything", which ultimately comes from the Proto-Germanic "ni-hwa-s-t", where "ni-" denotes negation and "hwa-s-t" means "thing". "Present" has Latin origins, derived from the verb "praesentare", meaning "to show" or "to present", which is derived from "prae-" (before) and "sentare" (to feel). However, as "not present" is a simple phrase formed by combining these words, its etymology does not have a unique or separate origin.
