+ ==Etymology==

+ Its origin is uncertain.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) It could be cognate with [[niteō]] “to shine”, if the root was *(H)ni(H)- “to shine” with different suffixes, and the TLL derives it from [[m|la|re-]] and a verb *nīdēre from an adjective *neido-.^(de Vaan 2008)^(TLL) The OLD suggests ''niteō'' with influence from [[rīdeō]] “to laugh”.^(OLD 2012) Pokorny compared [[peo|naiba-|t=beautiful]] and [[sga|nóib|t=holy]], which de Vaan calls a mere root comparison.^(de Vaan 2008)

+ De Vaan dates it from Lucretius, who says a house need not shine with silver and gleam with gold.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Lucretius 96–55 BC.^(Köbler 2010)
