Origin

Middle English; earliest use found in The Chronicle of Robert of Gloucester. From early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic naer, adverb, ‘nearer, near’, Old Icelandic naerr, adverb, ‘nearer’, representing a double comparative formation from the Scandinavian base of Old Icelandic naer + the Scandinavian base of Old Icelandic -r, and Old Icelandic naerri, adverb, ‘nearer, near’, probably originally an adjectival formation).
