Etymology

From a Proto-Indo-European *gnewbʰ-o-s, from *gnewbʰ-, an extension of *gen- (‘to compress’), and cognate with Old Irish gnobh (‘knot, knag’), Lithuanian gniáubti (‘to embrace’), gniùbti (‘to lose firmness, sink’). See also *knudaną (‘to knead’), which continues a different extension of the same root.
