nantir
French
Etymology
From Middle French, from Old French nantir (“to seize (the guarantors)”), from nant (“pledge, security”), probably from Old Norse nám (“taking, seizure”), from Proto-Germanic *nēmą (“taking”), from Proto-Indo-European *nem- (“to give or take one's due”). Cognate with Old High German nām (“robbery”), Old English niman (“to take, seize”). More at nim.
