According to most dictionaries, in turn from Latin subnegare (“to partly refuse”), perhaps as a semi-learned borrowing into Old Galician-Portuguese, although this presents some semantic difficulties. Alternatively, the Old Galician-Portuguese term may have been formed newly from so- (“sub-, under, beneath”) + negar (“to deny”).
