Etymology of NITH- ING

The word "nithing" originates from the Old Norse term "níðingr", which means "villain" or "scoundrel". It is a compound word formed by combining "níð" (shame) and "-ingr" (suffix denoting a person). In Old Norse society, a "níðingr" was someone who was considered dishonorable, cowardly, or treacherous, and thus held in contempt by the community. Over time, this term evolved into "nithing" in Middle English and continued to retain its negative connotations.
