The word "needle" derives from the Old English word "nǽdl", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "nāþlą". This term is related to the Old Norse word "nál", Old Saxon "nāthla", Old High German "nādala", and Old Frisian "nēdel", all of which have a similar meaning. Ultimately, the Proto-Germanic word can be traced to the Proto-Indo-European root "*neh₂d-", meaning "to sew" or "to bind". This root has provided the basis for several other related words across various Indo-European languages, such as Latin "nēre" and Greek "nehó". Notably, the etymology of "needle" points to its original purpose of sewing or binding.
