absolutt (absolute), from Latin absolūtus (concluded, absolute), perfect passive participle of absolvō (complete, finish), from both ab- (from, off, away from), from Latin ab (from, away from, on, in), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (off, away) + and from solvō (release, loosen, dissolve, take apart), from both sē- (apart-, aside-, away), from Proto-Indo-European *s(w)ēd, the ablative singular of *s(w)é (self) + and from luō (I untie, set free, separate), from Proto-Indo-European *lewh₃- (to wash).

nullpunkt (zero point), from both Latin nūllus (no one, none, no), from Proto-Italic *ne oinolos, from Proto-Italic *oinos (one), from Proto-Indo-European *óynos (one, single), perhaps from *éy (he, she, it) + *-nós (creates adverbs) + and from Old Norse punktr, from Middle Low German punct, punt, from Latin pūnctum (point, puncture, moment), from pūnctus (pricked, punctured), perfect passive participle of pungō (I prick, puncture, punch), from Proto-Italic *pungō (to prick, sting), from Proto-Indo-European *pewǵ- (to prick, punch).
