From Middle Dutch naer, nare (“tight, sad”), from Old Dutch *naro (“narrow”), from Proto-Germanic *narwaz (“narrow, tight, constricted”), probably from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ner- (“turn, bend, twist, constrict”). Cognate with Low German naar (“ghastly, dismal”), West Frisian near (“narrow”), English narrow; compare also German Narbe (“scar, closed wound”). More at narrow.
