Perhaps that wasn't intended as a technical use of the term "TR", but it
was Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevir (from Leiden) who published the Greek
testament containing the boast that:
     "Textum ergo habes, nunc ab omnibus receptum: in quo nihil immutatum
aut corruptum damus"

from which the nickname "Textus Receptus" arose. And that was in the 1633
edition, not 1550.
