Etymology: Middle English knarre = Low German knarre(n , Dutch knar stump (of an old tree), knot, knob. Compare knur n.The history in English is obscure. From 14th to 19th centuries there are apparently no genuine examples of its use, Dryden's knare (copied by later writers) being based on knarie , knarry adj. in Chaucer.
