Literally, Latin; from e “out of” (see ex-); ablative plural of plus “more” (see plus (n.)); neuter of unus “one” (from PIE root *oi-no- “one, unique”), ergo “a result of” rather than “origin”, IIRC?

There’s not much distinction. Either translation would be appropriate. I’m many years away from high school Latin, but I think the direct translation would be, “out of many, one”. However, that’s awkward in English, so it is often written as “one from many”.

When a critical level of understanding has been attained, I create definitions.

Of course I like one. He’s me.

I’m sure there are at least one or two who do, so I think you mean you don’t like a pedant and feel like most people agree with you.
