Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗Alternative spelling of neath; beneath.
From a misunderstanding of neath as an apheretic form of beneath, when it is in fact the older and original (or prefixless) form thereof. See and compare 'til (from till, the origin of until) for a similar case, as well as fore (whence before).
