Etymology
The word 'narrow' originates from the Old English 'nearwe,' which is of Germanic origin. It is related to words in other Germanic languages such as Dutch 'nauw' and German 'eng.' The comparative form 'narrower' follows the typical English structure for forming comparatives, where the '-er' suffix is added to the base adjective. Over time, the term has evolved, retaining its core meaning related to constriction or limited width while also adopting figurative uses in describing narrowed thoughts, perspectives, or focuses in various contexts.
