Etymology

Cognate with Occitan: netejar

Cognate with French: nettoyer

Cognate with Old Provençal: nedejar

Cognate with Old French: noiier

In summary

Restructuring, based on net (“clean”), of Old Catalan nedejar, from Vulgar Latin *nitidiāre, a verb based on Latin nitidus (“shining, polished”), which subsequently came to mean 'clean'. For similar restructurings, cf. Occitan netejar and French nettoyer (replacing Old Occitan nedejar and Old French noiier).
