That 'o' word. (Priesthood Discussion)
If Karl Rahner can be trusted (!) on this, 'that word' is first found in R Goclenius 'Lexicon Philosophicum' in 1613, and came to be a technical term in philosophy through the writings of C Wolff around 1729.
KR notes that according to its Greek components it means the doctrine about that which is.
Taken from KR's Encyclopedia of Theology... thought I'd bypass Wikstuff The rest of the entry I have not ploughed through in eons. Eye-glazing time!
