Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *neśtei (carry, bring); compare Latvian nest, Proto-Slavic *nestì. From Proto-Indo-European *h₁neḱ- (carry, bring); compare Tocharian B eṅk- (take) < *h₁n̥ḱ-, Ancient Greek ἐνεγκεῖν (enenkeîn, bring) < reduplicated present *h₁ne-h₁n̥ḱ-. This root seems to have frequently been confused with *h₂neḱ- (reach), whence Latin nancīscor.[1]
