Etymology
From Old Danish nykil, cognate with Swedish nyckel and Norwegian nøkkel, possibly identical to the following word. Alternatively, it is a younger form, with dissimilation, of Old Danish lykil (cf. also Jutlandic løgel), from Old Norse lykill, derived from the verb lúka (“to close, lock”), from Proto-Germanic *lūkaną. See: Swedish Nouns '
nyckel', Old Norse Nouns '
lykill'.
