# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Nessel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Nessel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Nessel, f., ‘nettle,’ from the equiv. MidHG. neȥȥel, OHG. nęȥȥila, f.; corresponding to MidLG. and Du. netel, AS. nętele, f., E. nettle; allied to earlier OHG. equiv. naȥȥa (the same as Ic. nǫtr?), ‘nettle.’ Goth. *natus, f., and *natilô, f., ‘nettle,’ are by chance not recorded. Since the HG. word can never lave had an initial h before the n., Gr. κνίδη, ‘stinging nettle,’ cannot be regarded as a cognate. The word has more correctly been connected with the common Teut. Netz (Goth. nati), on the assumption that nets in early times were made of nettle-threads. Further cognates are wanting. The term has also been compared with Pruss. noatis, Lith. noterė, and OIr. nenaid.

OHG. nęstilo (Goth. *nastila) has also been connected with Lat. nôdus (for *nozdus, like nîdus from *nizdus; see Nest). The form *nastila passed into Rom.; comp. Ital. nastro, ‘silk ribbon.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Nichte

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Nichte | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Nichte, f., ‘niece,’ ModHG. only (unknown to UpG. dialects in which Base is used), from LG. nicht, in MidHG. niftel, OHG. niftila, f. (dimin. of OHG. nift); comp. AS. nift, OIc. nipt. These are fem. forms of Neffe, pointing to Goth. *nifti, pre-Teut. neptî, f., from nepôt, m. The meaning of Nichte fluctuates as in the case of Neffe; MidHG. niftel, ‘niece, mother's sister, first cousin,’ OIc. nipt, ‘sister’s daughter, niece,’ OHG. nift, ‘neptis privigna.’ Comp. also Lat. neptis, ‘granddaughter,’ with nepos; Sans. naptî, f., ‘daughter, granddaughter,’ with nâpât.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Nest

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Nest | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Nest, n., ‘nest, haunt,’ from MidHG. and OHG. nëst, n., ‘nest, resting-place for birds and also for sucking animals’; corresponding to MidLG., Du., AS., and E. nest; Goth. *nista- is wanting. The cognates are primit.; the OTeut. form previous to the permutation of consonants was nizdo-, which is indicated likewise b Sans. nîḍa-s, ‘lair of animals,’ also ‘dwelling,’ as well as by OIr. net, ‘nest,’ Lat. nîdus, ‘nest,’ for *nizdus (Lith. lìzdas and Slav. gnězdo, ‘nest,’ are abnormal). The form nizdo- is prop. a compound of the root sed, ‘to sit, seat oneself,’ and the verbal particle ni preserved in Sans. (see nieder); nizdo-, from ni-sedó-, therefore means lit. ‘place of settling’; comp. Sans. ni-sad, ‘to sit down, settle.’ In Lat. and Teut. nîdus and nest assumed the special meaning ‘bird's nest’; similarly in Scand. a general word for ‘couch’ (Gr. κοίτη) was restricted to a bear's haunt (OIc. híþ); it belongs, like Gr. κοίτη, κεῖμαι to the Aryan root çî, ‘to lie’). The Goth. term for ‘nest’ is sitl, ​lit. ‘seat,’ which therefore is of a cognate root with Nest.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Netz

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Netz | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Netz, n., ‘net,’ from the equiv. MidHG. nętze, OHG. nęzzi, n.; corresponding to OSax. nęt (and nętti), n., Du., AS., and E. net, Goth. nati, OIc. net, n., ‘net’; a common Teut. term, to which the graded Scand. nȯt, ‘large net,’ is allied. The etymology is obscure; it is scarcely allied to naß, Teut. *nata-; it is rather connected with Nessel, with which it may be based on a pre-Teut. root nū̆d, ‘to sew, knit.’ Comp. also Lat. nassa, ‘creel, net.’

​ Wagen, m., ‘vehicle, carriage, waggon,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wagen, OHG. wagan, m.; corresponding to the equiv. Du. wagen, AS. wœgn, E. wain, OIc. vagn, ‘waggon.’ Based on the Teut. root wëg (see Weg); from the corresponding Aryan root wëgh, wogh, ‘to drag, drive,’ are derived Gr. ἄχος, Lat. vehiculum, OIc. fén, ‘waggon.’ The Aryan words Rad and Nabe show that vehicles were used in primitive times; for the Aryan root wegh, ‘to drag, to move on,’ see wegen. —

​ Wahlstatt, Walstatt, f., ‘field of battle,’ from the equiv. MidHG. walstat, f.; MidHG. and OHG. wal, m., f., and n., has also the same meaning. The corresponding AS. wœl signifies ‘those left on the battlefield,’ also ‘corpse’ (to which wœlstôw, ‘place of combat,’ is allied); comp. OIc. valr, ‘the corpses on the battlefield,’ valfǫđr (lit. ‘father of the dead’). It is impossible to recognise in this primit. word a derivative of the root of wählen, as if it meant ‘the chosen favourites of the god of war, who were led away by the Valkyres.’ It is rather based on a root wăl, ‘destruction,’ which appears also in OHG. wuol, ‘defeat,’ AS. wôl, ‘plague, pestilence’; allied to wühlen?. —
Walküre, f., ‘Valkyre,’ formed from OIc. valkyrja (AS. wœlcyrie), f., prop. ‘a divine maiden who makes a selection of the slain on the field of battle.’ See kiesen.

​ Wahnsinn, m., ‘frenzy, madness, delirium.’ It has properly no connection whatever with the preceding word; it first occurs in ModHG., and is an imitation of the earlier Wahnwitz, m., ‘delirium,’ which is based on MidHG. wănwitzec, wănwitze, OHG. wănawizzi, adj., ‘unintelligible, void of understanding.’ Wahnwitz is the sole relic of an old method of forming compounds with wăna-, ‘wanting,’ which is especially preserved in Scand.; comp. also OHG. wanaheil, ‘sickly,’ lit. perhaps ‘deficient in health’; thus too OHG. wanawizzi, ‘deficient in sense.’ Goth. wans, ‘deficient, lacking,’ OIc. vanr, ‘lacking,’ is an old partic. with the suffix ana, from the Aryan root ū̆, ‘to be empty,’ from which öde is derived; comp. the Zend root û, ‘to want,’ Sans. ûna, ‘wanting,’ and OHG. wanôn, ‘to diminish.’

​ Wahn, m. ‘illusion, delusion,’ from MidHG. and OHG. wân, m., ‘uncertain, unfounded opinion, supposition, belief, hoping, ​thoughts.’ The word (comp. Argwohn) did not originally contain the secondary meaning ‘want of foundation,’ as is shown by OSax. wân, AS. wên, Goth. wêns, ‘expectation, hope.’ Hence the derivative wähnen, ‘to think, believe, suppose,’ MidHG. wœnen, OHG. wânnen (from *wânjan), ‘to mean, suppose, hope,’ comp. the equiv. Goth. wênjan, AS. wênan, OSax. wânian. The nominal stem wêni is not related to any terms in non-Teut. (Aryan root wê?, ghwê, ghê?), unless it be connected with the root wen, ‘to love,’ from which OHG. and OSax. wini, ‘friend,’ Sans. van, ‘to love,’ and Lat. venerari, ‘to venerate,’ are derived.

​ wohnen, vb., ‘to dwell,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wonen, OHG. wonên, wk. vb.; corresponding to OSax. wunôn, Du. wonen, AS. wunian, ‘to dwell, be, remain.’ Beside these West Teut. cognates there are those of gewohnt; the Aryan root wen, on which they are based, probably meant ‘to please,’ which is suggested by Goth. wunan, OIc. una, ‘to rejoice’; the ‘wonted thing’ is ‘that with which one is pleased’; wohnen, lit. ‘to find pleasure anywhere.’ From the same Aryan root wen are derived OSax. and OHG. wini (MidHG. wine), ‘friend,’ Lat. Venus, ‘goddess of love,’ the Sans. root van, ‘to be fond of, love,’ Sans. vánas, ‘delight.’ Comp. also Wonne and Wunsch.

Based on pre-Teut. woid, wid, in Sans. vêda, ‘I know,’ Gr. οἶδα, OSlov. vĕděti, ‘to know.’ This primit. unreduplicated perfect is based on a root wid, which in the Aryan languages means lit. ‘to find,’ then ‘to see, recognise’; comp.

The primary meaning of this common Teut. adv. is ‘as one could wish,’ because it is derived from the root of wollen. Aryan welo-, ‘wish, desire,’ is also indicated by Sans. vára, m. and n., ‘wish, desire,’ to which váram ã (or práti váram), ‘as one could wish, as one likes,’ is allied.

(as the old ModHG. partic. verworren shows) is based on MidHG. wërren (verwërren), OHG. wërran (firwërran), str. vbs., ‘to entangle, confuse.’ On the corresponding subst. OHG. wërra, ‘confusion, dispute,’ are based Ital. guerra, Fr. guerre, ‘war.’ It is uncertain whether OHG. and OSax. wërran, str. vb., ‘to bring into confusion,’ is based on an earlier *wersan, and whether Wurst is connected with it. A pre-Teut. root wers appears in OSlov. vrěšti, ‘to thresh,’ and probably also in Lat. verro, ‘to sweep.’ E. worse (Goth. waírsiza; see the following word) is usually referred to the Teut. root wers, ‘to confuse.’
