Etymology

From Middle English nornen, nurnen, from Old English gnornan, gnornian (“to be sad, murmur, complain, mourn, lament, grieve”), from Proto-West Germanic *gnu?n?n (“to mourn”), from Proto-Indo-European *g?new- (“to gnaw, scrape, rub”). Cognate with Old Saxon gnorn?n (“to be sad”).

Alternatively, the Middle English word may be of North Germanic origin. Compare dialectal Swedish norna, nyrna (“to inform secretly”).
