eğer gösterilen nedene bakacak olursak aynı şekilde "kanser" tam olarak tanımlanmadan önce kanserden ölen hiçkimse aslında kanserden ölmemiş oluyor. bu derece abuk bir önermedir ki zaten nation kelimesinin kökeni ile ilgili bilgi de yanlıştır.

As an example of how the word natio was employed in classical Latin, consider the following quote from Cicero's Philippics Against Mark Antony in 44 BC. Cicero contrasts the external, inferior nationes ("races of people") with the Roman civitas ("community").:
"Omnes nationes servitutem ferre possunt: nostra civitas non potest."
("All races are able to bear enslavement, but our community cannot.")[8]
St. Jerome used this "genealogical-historical term ... in his Latin translation of New Testament to denote non-Christians — that is, 'others.'"[9] An early example of the use of the word "nation" in conjunction with language and territory is provided in 968 by Liutprand, bishop of Cremona, who, while confronting Nicephorus II, the Byzantine emperor on behalf of his patron Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, declared:
"The land...which you say belongs to your empire belongs, as the nationality and language of the people proves, to the kingdom of Italy.'" (Emphasis added.)[10]
Although Liutprand was writing in Latin, his native tongue was Lombard, a Germanic language.
A significant early use of the term nation, as natio, was at mediaeval universities (see: nation (university)), to describe the colleagues in a college or students, above all at the University of Paris, who were all born within a pays, spoke the same language and expected to be ruled by their own familiar law. In 1383 and 1384, while studying theology at Paris, Jean Gerson was twice elected procurator for the French natio (i.e. the French-born Francophone students at the University). The division of students into a natio was also adopted at the University of Prague, where from its opening in 1349 the studium generale was divided among Bohemian, Bavarian, Saxon and Polish nations.

alıntı biraz uzun, çevirmekle uğraşamadım ama sonuçta nation kelimesinin kökeninin 1900'lü yıllarda olduğunun ne kadar kolpa olduğunu yeterince açıklıyor.
