HISTORICAL USAGE OF OPINION
English opinion comes from Middle English opinion, openyoun, from Anglo-French opinion, oppinion “view, belief,” later “reputation” and “intention, judgment.” The French comes from Latin opīniō (inflectional stem opīniōn- ), which has all of the French senses, vague as they are (in that they refer to belief as opposed to fact or truth). Opīniō is a derivative of the verb opīnārī “to suppose, imagine, conjecture.”
The English noun ranges in meaning from a personal belief resting on grounds incapable of proof, to the formal statement of a court or judge of the reasoning and principles of law used in reaching a decision, to the expert opinion of a physician or other professional, as well as continuing the vague meanings of French and Latin.
The terms opinion poll and opinion polling date from about 1940, although poll in the sense “a survey of public opinion on an issue” appeared around the turn of the 20th century.
Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
Opinionate & opinionative
These words are commonly used as synonyms,
each meaning “obstinate,” “dogmatic,” “fixed in one’s beliefs,” “stubborn”:
“Don’t call me opinionate (or opinionative) just because I am correct in my attitude.”
A distinction is sometime made by careful writers:
opinionated is used to convey the senses mentioned above;
opinionative is employed to refer to matters of opinion,
usually in the sense of “hypothetical” or “assumed”:
“You seem to have reached an entire opinionative conclusion.”
In most instance, use opinionated and forgetabout opinionative.
