[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle Dutch nors, norts (“surly”), with further origin disputed. Possibly from nort (“north”) + -s (equivalent to modern noord + -s), due to the north being associated with humans' negative properties. Or, less likely, from the sparsely attested verb norren (“to grumble”).
Pronunciation
