<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br>English has the defunct verbs "to nihil" ~ "to nichil" ~ "to nichillate" ~ "to nihilate" meaning "to destroy", 'to annihilate", from Late (Medieval) Latin <i>nihilat-</i>. There's also Latin <i>adnihil- ~ annihil-</i> (> English "annihilate") with the same meaning, all from <i>nihil</i> 'nothing', hence German <i>zu<b>nicht</b>e machen</i> and <i>ver<b>nicht</b>en</i> from <i>nicht(s) </i>'nothing'. I am wondering if Middle Saxon imported <i>vornielen</i> 'to destroy' from Medieval Latin (either directly or via Middle German) rather than from French.<br>
<br>This same idea ("an<b>nihil</b>ate" = "to make into <b>nothing</b>" = "to destroy") has permeated European languages and beyond; e.g. Azerbaijani <i><b>yox</b> etmæk</i>, Belarusian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">з<b>нішч</b>ыць</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Albanian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>asgjë</b>soj</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Bulgarian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">у<b>нищ</b>ожат</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Croatian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">u<b>ništ</b>iti</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Danish </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ti<b>lintet</b>gøre</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Dutch </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ver<b>niet</b>igen</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, German <i>ver<b>nicht</b>en </i>Hungarian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>semmi</b>síthetsz meg</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Latvian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">iz<b>nīc</b>ināt</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Macedonian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ан<b>ихил</b>ираат</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Norwegian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">til<b>intet</b>gjøre</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Russian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="number"></span></i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="definition"><i>у<b>ничт</b>ожать</i>, Serbian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">у<b>ништ</b>ити</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Slovenian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">u<b>nič</b>iti</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Lower Sorbian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">z(a)<b>nic</b>yś,</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Upper Sorbian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">z<b>nič</b>ić</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Swedish </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">för<b>inta</b></i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Turkish </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>yok </b>etmek</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Ukrainian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">з<b>нищит</b>и</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, Yiddish </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">פאַר<b>ניכט</b>ן </i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> far</span><b style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">nikht</b><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">n < German </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ver<b>nicht</b>en.<br>
