Definition niddering

Etymology

A variant of nithing, resulting from the letter eth (�) in Early Middle English ni�ing in the writings of the English historian William of Malmesbury (c. 1095 � c. ?1143) being mistaken for a d followed by a mark of suspension representing a letter that had been omitted as an abbreviation. This led to ni�ing being wrongly spelled as nidering in early printed versions of his works. The word was later popularized by the Scottish novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott (1771�1832).
