(The word “nominal” has the Latin root nomen, or name.) We say the nominal level is the most basic because every variable is at least a nominal variable.

(More about “cause” in a second.) They are simply pointing to a possible way, or mechanism through which, the independent variable may cause or affect variation in the dependent variable.
