/naɪf/

Forms: 1900s– NIFE, 1900s– NiFe, 1900s– Nife, 1900s– nife.

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Nife.

Etymology: < German Nife (E. Suess Das Antlitz der Erde (1909) III. ii. xxiv. 626) < the chemical symbols Ni (see Ni n.) and Fe ( < classical Latin ferrum iron: see ferro- comb. form); compare quot. 1909 at main sense.

Geology. Nickel-iron; spec. the earth's core or the material composing it.
