Introduced by Eusebio T. Daluz in the early 20th century as counterpart to the Spanish nación (“nation”), as it was deemed that there was no native Tagalog word that adequately expressed the concept, since the nearest counterpart, bayan, had other meanings that deviate from the modern concept of nationhood, as it is also used to refer to a town or a municipality, similar to Spanish pueblo. However, usage of the word has preceded publications by Eusebio T. Daluz.
