Word origin
The word 'gnawer' originated from Middle English 'gnawere', which is derived from Old English 'gnafere', meaning 'a gnawing animal'. The term has been used to describe both animals with gnawing habits and people who persistently worry or overthink. The concept of gnawing as a repetitive, persistent action is central to the meaning of 'gnawer'.
