Probably from a past participle Proto-Italic *nitos (“made bright”), from a root Proto-Indo-European *ney- (“to shine”). Potential cognates would include Middle Irish níam (“splendor, gleam”), níamda (“shining”), as well as Sanskrit नील (nī́la, “dark-colored, dark blue”).
niteō (present infinitive nitēre, perfect active nituī); second conjugation, no passive, no supine stem
