Forms: Middle English nettyng, 1500s nettinge, 1600s– netting, 1900s– nettin; also Scottish pre-1700 necting, pre-1700 nectyng.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: net v.², -ing suffix¹.

Etymology: Probably < net v.² (although this is first attested later) + -ing suffix¹.Resemblance to Middle Low German nette urine (perhaps > Middle Danish nætte, Swedish †näcte, necte) urine, (cognate with Middle High German nezze wetness (German †Netze wetness, urine) < the same Germanic base as Middle Low German nat wet) is probably accidental. Compare also Middle Low German netten to wet, to urinate, Middle Dutch netten to wet, nettinge wetting.

Now English regional (chiefly northern and north midlands).

Urine, esp. as used for its perceived cleansing or curative properties.The compound in quots. 1587 and 1716 might be interpreted as ‘rinsing tub’ (showing net v.²).
