That usage is incorrect. It's another case of a word misinterpretation taking over the historical meaning. It's from the Latin "non plus" meaning no further.

- pbhjpbhj 13y agoI'm not sure why you note the Latin etymology, that would tend more towards the neologistic definition IMO. Like "no more?" as in "isn't there anything else to it?". I don't see how "no more" suggests being flummoxed/confounded. [Yes I know that's not how "logo-genesis" works]
