Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle French: navrer

Geërf van Old French: navrer

Verwante met Katalaans: nafrar

In summary

Inherited from Middle French navrer (“to wound”), from Old French navrer, nafrer (“to hurt by piercing or cutting, pierce through the heart, break someone's heart”), first attested in Norman texts; then later, through chivalry, in texts from Central and Southern France.
Further origin uncertain, but likely from Old Norse nafra (“to pierce or bore with an auger”), from nafarr (“auger”). Compare Catalan nafrar (“to wound”).
Alternatively, derivation from Latin naufragāre (“to make or become shipwrecked, ruin, spoil”) has also been suggested, although this is less likely based on phonological and semantic grounds: naufragāre would have typically resulted in Old French *nofraier, *noufrayer rather than navrer, nafrer.
