niggard词源

niggard (n.)

\"mean person, miser,\" late 14c., nygart, of uncertain origin. The suffix suggests French origin (see -ard), but the root word is possibly from earlier nig \"stingy\" (c. 1300), perhaps from a Scandinavian source related to Old Norse hnøggr \"stingy,\" from Proto-Germanic *khnauwjaz (source of Swedish njugg \"close, careful,\" German genau \"precise, exact\"), and to Old English hneaw \"stingy, niggardly,\" which did not survive in Middle English.
