Etymology

Nier derives from the Old French *neier*, itself a direct borrowing from Latin **negāre** “to refuse, deny”. The Latin root is *neg-*, a negative prefix, giving rise to the modern sense of refusing to admit truth or existence. Over time the spelling shifted from *neier* to *nier*, reflecting the regular French phonetic evolution of the *-ie-* sequence to *-i-*.
