Nguồn gốc từ

With intrusive -b-, Middle English nymyl, nemel, nemyll, nymell (agile, quick, ready, able, capable), a merger of Old English nǣmel (receptive, quick to grasp) and Old English numol (able to take, capable of holding), both from niman (to take) + -el, -ol, corresponding to nim + -le. Compare nehmen, 𐌽𐌹𐌼𐌰𐌽, nema to take. More at nim.
