Etymology
The word "annullare" comes from the Latin verb 'annullāre', which means to reduce to nothing or cancel. It is composed of 'ad-' meaning 'to' and 'nullus' meaning 'none' or 'nothing'. Did you know? The root 'null' is also the origin of the English word 'nullify', both sharing the idea of making something void.
