Etymology

Of uncertain origin. A connection to Latin nōdus (“knot”) and Old Irish nascim (“to bind”) is semantically appealing, though formal analysis is difficult due to semantic contamination from similar-sounding roots, such as nectere for Latin and ग्रन्थ् (granth) / बन्ध् (bandh) for Sanskrit.

Pronunciation

Root

नह् • (nah)

  1. to bind, tie, fasten, bind on or round or together
  2. to put on (as armor), arm oneself
