nipev.2

Forms: late Middle English–1500s nype, 1500s–1600s nipe.
Origin: Probably a borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch nīpen.
Etymology: Probably < Middle Dutch nīpen to pinch, squeeze (Dutch nijpen ), cognate with West Frisian nipe , Middle Low German nīpen , both in the same sense; further etymology uncertain: perhaps < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek κνίΨ a kind of ant (see ciniphes n.). Compare slightly earlier nip v.1In Middle English and early modern English the word is often difficult to distinguish from nip v.1 (compare the rhyme in quot. a1578 at main sense).
