Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Probably related to Lithuanian narvýtis (“to persist, to be stubborn”), possibly Ancient Greek νωρεῖ pl (nōreî, “energy, urge”). Further origin perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ner- (“vitality, drive”) (the root of *h₂nḗr (“man, person”)).
(Some) Western South Slavic descendants are etymologically problematic. Snoj tentatively derives them from related *naravь, *narava[1] < *nar- + *-avь, *-ava. Compare Lithuanian nóras (“will”).
