Etymology

Singularized plural of *nusë, from Proto-Albanian *nutjā, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)nubʰ-ti̯eh₂, from *sneubʰ- (compare Latin nūbere (“to marry (a man)”), Czech snoubiti (“to woo”)). For sense development, compare Greek νύφη (nýfi, “bride, daughter-in-law”), from Ancient Greek νύμφη (númphē, “bride”). Alternatively from Proto-Albanian *snutjā, from Proto-Indo-European *snu-eh2- (“daughter in law”), derivative of *snus-ó- (compare Latin nurus, Sanskrit स्नुषा (snuṣā), Greek νυός (nyós), Old English snoru).
