Uncertain. The term is mentioned by Festus as an archaic form of nīxus, the perfect participle of nītor, itself of uncertain etymology. De Vaan suggests that if the term nītor is indeed related to Latin cōnīveō, then the terms beginning with gn-, such as gnīxus, may reflect genuine archaic forms. If it is accepted that this term is truly an Old Latin participle, then the older form of nītor may have been *gnītor. However, the linguist Andrey Shatskov suggests that nītor is actually from a root *neyk- (“to approach energetically”) and the forms mentioned by Festus are intentionally archaizing terms formed by the analogy of Latin words such as nōscō and gnōscō.
