Etymology of NODDED

The word "nodded" is derived from the Middle English word "nodden", which originated from the Old English word "hnoddian". This Old English term is akin to the Middle Low German word "nutten" and the Dutch word "nodden", all of which mean to nod or bend the head in agreement or affirmation. The root of this word goes back to the Proto-Germanic word "*nuttōną", which shares a common ancestor with the Old Norse word "hnerra" and the Danish word "nøde". Ultimately, the word "nodded" can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*ne-", meaning to bend or incline.
