Etymology

From New Latin semelfactivus, equivalent to Latin semel ‎(“once, a single time”), from Proto-Indo-European *sḗm ‎(“one, together”); plus factive, from Latin factum ‎(“event, occurrence”), from facere ‎(“to do”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁- ‎(“to put, to do”); plus the Latin adjectival suffix -ivus.
