Etymology
The noun ending -n was added in the 16th or 17th century. The older noun is the same as the verb, nysta (“to clew, roll yarn/thread into a ball”), from an Old Norse *hniusta. The root appears to exist in Old Norse nista, nesta, Danish næste (“to tack, to sew together”), in older related words knu-/hnu- and kniu-/hniu-, thus related to: Swedish knut (“knot”), knyta (“to tie, to knot”), English knot, knit, Old Norse hnoða, hnúðr, and Ancient Greek κνύθος (knúthos). See: Old Norse Nouns '
nista', Danish Nouns '
næste', Swedish Nouns '
knut', English Nouns '
knot', Old Norse Nouns '
hnoða'.
