Next. ![]() The figurative sense ‘to catch unaware’ or ‘to arrest’ is from the early 17th century, while ‘to steal’ dates back to the mid-19th century.Me: (getting the mail and coming back into the house with it) Okay, let's see what we got here. The verb, meaning ‘to make a notch in,’ dates back to the early 16th century, and comes from the verb. The figurative sense ‘critical moment’ dates back to the late 16th century, but the expression ‘nick of time’ first appeared in the mid-17th century. Nick may be related to the French niche, the Spanish nicho and the Italian nicchia (all meaning ‘niche’), as well as the German Knick (a flaw or defect) and nicken (to nod or kink), the Old Frisian hnekka (to nod), the Dutch nikken (to nod) and nok (notch), the Danish nikke (to nod), the Swedish nicka (to nod) and nock ( notch). Other linguists think it was a variant of the Middle English noun nock (notch), possibly form a Scandinavian language, or maybe from the Middle English verb nikken (to nod), from the Old English hnīgan (to bow down, incline, descend or sink), which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic hnīgana, and the Proto-Indo-European root ken– (to press, pinch or kink), though in the latter cases, linguists do think the French word may have influenced the evolution of the English senses of nick. It may have come from the Italian niccia (niche or nook) and maybe even the Latin mitilus (mussel), or it may have come from the Old French verb nidier (to nest), from the Gallo-Roman nidicare and the Latin nidus (nest). Its origin is uncertain, but some linguists think it may have come from the Middle French niche (‘a shallow recess for a dog’ or ‘a kennel’), though the origin of niche is also uncertain. Nick, meaning ‘a notch, grove or slit,’ dates back to the late 15th century, as the Late Middle English noun nyke.
