Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗To make a noise; to sound. · To spread news of; to spread as rumor or gossip.
Various sounds, usually unwanted or unpleasant. · Any sound. · Sound or signal generated by random fluctuations. · Any part of a signal or data that reduces the clarity, precision, or quality of the desired output.
From Middle English noyse, noise, from Old French noise (“a dispute, wrangle, strife, noise”), of uncertain origin. According to some, from Latin nausia, nausea (“disgust, nausea”); according to others, from Latin noxia (“hurt, harm, damage, injury”); but neither explanation is satisfactory in regard to either form or sense. Potentially a reduced form of Old French enoiier (“to bother, to disturb”), from Latin inodio (“to make repulsive”) - which would make it a doublet of English annoy (“to bother, to irritate”) and English ennui (“boredom, jadedness, depression”). Compare Piedmontese nojé (“to bother, to annoy”), though this fails to explain the final /z/. Displaced native Old English swēġ.
