Etymology

Unknown; possibly related to Middle High German narren (“to snarl”), English snarl (“to snar”), German schnarren (“to snarl”), all from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ner-.[1][2] Alternatively, suggested to be borrowed from Vulgar Latin *naricāre (“to taunt”) +‎ *-ō (agent noun suffix), whence French narguer (“to taunt”), perhaps with the orignal meaning “to wrinkle up one's nose”, from Latin nāris (“nose”).[3][4]
