Etymology
Nemaipomenit is a native Romanian formation, not a borrowed word. It stacks the negative prefix ne- onto mai ("still, anymore," from Latin magis) and pomenit, the past participle of a pomeni ("to mention," from a Slavic verb related to pomeniti). The literal sense is "no longer mentioned" or "never before spoken of," which shifted to mean something so rare it has never been mentioned, hence extraordinary.
