From An Etymology

|
ANTINOMIAN,
one who denies the obligation of moral law. (Gk.) Tillotson,
vol. ii. ser. 50, speaks of 'the Antinomian doctrine.' Milton,
Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce, b. ii. c. 3, uses the sb. antinomie.
The suffix -an is adjectival, from Lat. -anus. The
word is not from Gk.
ἀντινομία, an ambiguity in the law, but is simply coined
from Gk.
ἀντί, against, and
νόμος, law, which is from the verb
νέμειν, to deal
out, also to pasture. See Anti-, and
Nomad.
