Etymology:
'introductionem' is the Latin accusative singular (not the nominative) of introductio: there I am sure.
A) But did the Old French "introduction" come
1)from the accusative or
2)from the hole noun ("introductio, introductionis f.") in all its cases/flexions
3)introduction- which is the part of this noun (2)) that is not changed during the flexion/flection in different cases (apart form the nominative´s lost 'n')?
B) Came the word 'introduction' via Old French (form the Normans) in the English language or direct from the Latin (from the church or in the Renaissance)? When was it first used (in English or in England)?

- The English word came from (Old) French, which itself took its form from the Latin accusative form. It has been in English since the time of Chaucer. Widsith 12:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
