Etymology 1

EnglishWikipedia has articles on:
WikipediaWikipedia
A bowl of mixed nuts (hard-shelled seeds).
Assorted nuts (fasteners with internal threads).
The nut of a violin.

FromMiddle Englishnute,note, fromOld Englishhnutu, fromProto-West Germanic*hnut, fromProto-Germanic*hnuts(“nut”), from a root*knu- possibly shared withProto-Celtic*knūs andLatinnux(“nut”). Based on the form of the nouns and the restriction of the root to Germanic, Celtic and Italic, it has been argued to be of non-Indo-European (substrate) origin.[1][2]
