Etymology 1

Either inherited from a Old English *nēora or borrowed from Middle Low German nēre; in either case, from Proto-West Germanic *neurō, from Proto-Germanic *neurô, from Proto-Indo-European *negʷʰrós. Cognates include Old High German nioro, and Old Norse nýra. The form ere displays reanalysis of /n/ as belonging to the article an.

Usage notes

• As the compound kidenere has a plural kideneren besides kideneres, a weak plural *neren likely existed.
