Etymology
1. From Proto-Indo-European *ǵneybʰ- (“to pinch”). The root final -p was adopted from or influenced by the iterative *knippōną (“to pinch, cut, snap”); see there for more.
2. Likely related to *hnīpaną (“to pinch, squeeze”), but it's unclear how the variation of the initial consonant arose.
