Pronounced as (IPA)

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly related to nōdus (“knot”) and/or nassa (“a narrow-necked basket for catching fish”). The ending may be analogous to that found in plectō (“plait, weave, braid”) or pectō (“comb wool”).
More information
The following roots and cognates have been proposed:
* Proto-Indo-European *gned-, *gnod- (“to bind”), making it cognate to Proto-Germanic *knuttô (“knot”) (whence Modern English knot), and possibly Ancient Greek γνάθος (gnáthos, “a jaw”).
* Proto-Indo-European *ned- (“to turn, twist, knot”), whence English net, Avestan 𐬥𐬀𐬯𐬐𐬀- (naska-, “bundle”), Old Irish nascaid (“to bind”). This in turn is sometimes interpreted as being connected to Proto-Indo-European *(s)neh₁- (“spin, sew”), the root of Latin neō (“spin, weave”). The root of these forms has alternatively been reconstructed as Proto-Indo-European *neh₃d-.
* Proto-Indo-European *h₁nedʰ- (“to tie together”) (alternatively reconstructed as *Hnadʰ- or *nedʰ-), whence (possibly) Sanskrit नह्यति (nahyati) and Proto-Germanic *nastijaną.
* Proto-Indo-European *h₂neḱ- (“to reach”)
* Proto-Indo-European *h₁neǵʰ- (“to pierce”), the root of Old Church Slavonic ножь (nožĭ, “knife, dagger”), Proto-Slavic *nizati (“to string (to put (items) on a string)”).
