Etymology

In summary

Rebracketing of naak, a now-obsolete form which was still used in early modern Dutch (compare adder, from earlier nadder), from Middle Dutch aecke and non-rebracketed naecke; the latter derives from Old Dutch *nako, from Proto-West Germanic *nakwō, from Proto-Germanic *nakwô (“boat, ship”).
