Etimologia (Inglês)

Emprestado de baixo alemão: nölen

Cognato com holandês: neulen

Cognato com dinamarquês: nøle

In summary

From Low German nölen, whence also Dutch neulen, Danish nøle. The sense "gripe" is derived from "speak slowly or lengthily", itself perhaps from "dawdle" (though it might be the other way round). Further origin uncertain, but usually considered onomatopoeic.
