Anagrams[edit]
Dutch[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Middle Dutch nors, norts (“surly”), with further origin disputed. Possibly from nort (“north”) + -s (equivalent to modern noord + -s), due to the north being associated with humans' negative properties. Or, less likely, from the sparsely attested verb norren (“to grumble”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Adjective[edit]

- surly, sulky
