Etymology

In summary

Possibly a deverbal of nusar, from Vulgar Latin *nōdāre, from Latin nōdus. Alternatively, from the plural of nu, from older Old Catalan nuu, from Vulgar Latin *nūdus, alteration of Latin nōdus, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gned-, *gnod- (“to bind”). Compare Occitan nos, French nœud, Spanish nudo.
