Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle Dutch: *narwe

Geërf van Old Dutch: *narwa

Verwante met Duits: Narbe

In summary

From earlier nerve, from Middle Dutch *narwe, either inherited from Old Dutch *narwa or borrowed from Middle Low German narwe, eventually from Proto-Germanic *narwō, from earlier *arwaz (“scar”).
For the change of -rwe → -rf, compare verf. Cognate with German Narbe (“scar”).
