Etymology of MORE NONOBLIGATORY

The term "more nonobligatory" does not have a specific etymology, as it is a combination of two English words: "more" and "nonobligatory".

"More" is derived from the Old English word "māra", which means "greater in amount, quantity, or degree". It has been in use since the 12th century and has remained relatively unchanged in meaning.

"Nonobligatory" is formed by adding the prefix "non-" to the word "obligatory". "Non-" is a prefix that indicates negation or absence, while "obligatory" comes from the Latin word "obligātus", meaning "to bind". Therefore, "nonobligatory" means "not required, not mandatory, or not binding".

When combined, "more nonobligatory" simply means that something is not required to a greater extent or in a greater degree.
