[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Finnic *naaras, probably derived from Proto-Uralic *naxe- (whence naida, nainen) + *-ra; compare koiras. Alternatively and less likely borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hnā́riH (compare Sanskrit नारी (nā́rī)). Indo-Iranian etymology is rejected by Holopainen (2019).
